《Sixteen Tons (Featuring Jools Holland)》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Oliver Darley/Jools Holland (朱尔斯·霍兰德)

[00:00:09] Some people say a man is made outta mud

[00:00:14] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:18] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:23] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:26] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:32] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:36] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:40] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:53] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:58] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:01:02] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:01:06] And the straw boss said well a bless my soul

[00:01:10] I load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:15] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:19] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:24] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:37] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:42] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:45] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:50] Can't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:54] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:59] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:03] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:07] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:02:20] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:02:25] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:02:28] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:02:33] If the right one don't a get you

[00:02:35] Then the left one will

[00:02:37] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:02:42] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:46] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:54] I owe my soul to the company store oh
