                The Cockroach And Sixteen Tons 

The cockroach and sixteen tons?  No,  this blog is not about a cockroach that can lift sixteen tons Heaven forbid but two songs one called "La Cucaracha (The Cockroach) and the other  titled "Sixteen tons" about the hardship of workers in a coalmine.

Now why would anyone write a song about a cockroach ?   In one version It is probably  use as a metaphor for a cruel and tyrannic boss,at least, that's what I heard.The instrumental of La Cucaracha is below:

By the way, if you have cockroach baits around the house and  see a poisoned cockroach let it go, so it can go back to its nest so it can poison  the others.

The other song "Sixteen Tons" is about the hardships of  men who work hard in the coalmines and they were  paid not by American money but by the company's own money or tokens.

The tokens can be use to buy clothing, food etc; But who owns these stores ?  The owners of the coalmines of course and they kept the prices high (I owe my soul to the company store) .The point of the story is that the big companies will always try to take advantage of the small man.Fortunately, we have Work Unions today.
