2581 Origins: Sixteen Tons (Merle Travis?) (58* d) RE: Origins: Sixteen Tons (Merle Travis?) 09 Aug 09

I collect coal mining songs and have 100+ versions of "Sixteen Tons". One of my favorites is the 1987 recording by Tom Bledose & Rich Kirby on their album "Twins" (Swallow Records). Of all the versions I have listened to, Tom & Rich's version is the only one that uses the following line:
"Ain't no COAL OPERATOR make me walk the line!"
