《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons - frankie laine

[00:00:06] Some people say a man is made out of mud

[00:00:09] A poor man's made out of muscle and blood

[00:00:12] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:15] A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:18] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:22] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:25] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:28] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:37] I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:41] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:43] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:47] And the straw boss said well a bless my soul

[00:00:49] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:53] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:56] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:59] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:08] Well I was born one mornin` it was drizzlin` rain

[00:01:12] Fightin` an` trouble are my middle name

[00:01:15] I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion

[00:01:17] Can`t no high-toned woman makes me walk the line

[00:01:21] You load sixteen tons an` what do you get

[00:01:24] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:27] St Peter don`t you call me cause I can`t go:

[00:01:30] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:39] Well if you see me comin` better step aside

[00:01:43] A lotta men didn`t; a lotta men died

[00:01:46] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:01:49] If the right one don`t get you then the left one will

[00:01:52] You load sixteen tons an` what do you get

[00:01:55] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:58] St Peter don`t you call me cause I can`t go:

[00:02:03] I owe my soul to the company store
