Merle Travis, "Sixteen Tons"
Misheard Lyrics:
Oh, Lord, you're six feet tall, and what do you get?
Original Lyrics:
You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?
Merle Travis' version of this song came out in the 1940's, so selecting 50's would be incorrect. Use either "misc" or "country" (since it *is* a country song).
