《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - The Riverside Singers

[00:00:17] A people say a man is made out of mud

[00:00:26] A poor man's made out of muscle and blood

[00:00:33] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:39] A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:45] You load sixteen tons what do you get

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

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

[00:01:06] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:21] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:01:31] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:01:37] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:01:43] And the straw boss said

[00:01:46] Well a-bless you soul

[00:01:50] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:57] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:04] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:10] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:02:25] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:02:35] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:02:41] I was raised in the Canebrake by an old mama lion

[00:02:47] Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:02:54] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:03:01] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:03:08] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:03:15] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:03:30] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:03:39] A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died

[00:03:45] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:03:51] If the right one don't get the left one will

[00:03:57] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:04:05] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:04:11] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:04:20] I owe my soul to the company store
