《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Tennessee Ernie Ford

[00:00:05] Some people say a man is made outta mud

[00:00:10] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:13] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:16] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:19] You load sixteen tons

[00:00:21] What do you get

[00:00:23] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:26] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:30] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:38] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:43] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:46] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:49] And the straw boss said 'well a bless my soul'

[00:00:52] You load sixteen tons

[00:00:55] What do you get

[00:00:56] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:59] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:03] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:11] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:16] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:19] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:22] Cain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:26] You load sixteen tons

[00:01:28] What do you get

[00:01:30] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:33] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:36] I owe my soul to the company store

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

[00:01:51] A lotta men didn't

[00:01:52] A lotta men died

[00:01:54] One fist of iron

[00:01:55] The other of steel

[00:01:57] If the right one don't a get you then the

[00:01:59] Left one will

[00:02:00] You load sixteen tons

[00:02:02] What do you get

[00:02:04] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:07] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:13] I owe my soul

[00:02:24] To the company store
