    We loved to do this song with our folk/blues music group years ago. It was fun to sing and and suitable for improvisations. My part for 16 Tons was usually 2nd voice and guitar, sometimes octave guitar or accordion for the bass line depending on the instruments we had.

      Birgit,
      I remember when it was popular on the am dial, and Tennessee Ernie was on all the variety shows, but I never hear this song anymore on the radio.
