《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Frank Tovey

[00:00:15] People say a man is made outta mud

[00:00:18] But a poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:22] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:25] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:28] You load sixteen tons what do you get

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

[00:00:35] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:39] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:45] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:49] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:52] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:55] And the straw boss said well a bless my soul

[00:00:58] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:02] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:05] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:09] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:15] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:19] Fightin' and trouble is my middle name

[00:01:22] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:25] Cain't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:29] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:32] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:36] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:39] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:46] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:01:49] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:01:53] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:01:56] If the right one don't a get you

[00:01:57] Then the left one will

[00:01:59] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:02:03] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:06] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:09] I owe my soul to the company store
