《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (From "Joe Versus the Volcano") - Eric Burdon/Solomon

[00:00:02] Some people say a man is made outta' mud

[00:00:06] A poor man's made outta' muscle and blood

[00:00:10] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:13] A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:16] You load sixteen tons what do ya get

[00:00:20] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:23] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:26] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:36] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:40] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:43] I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal

[00:00:47] And the store boss said "Well a-bless my soul"

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

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

[00:00:57] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

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

[00:01:10] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:14] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:17] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:20] Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:24] You load sixteen tons what do ya get

[00:01:27] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:31] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:34] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:44] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:01:48] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:01:52] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:01:55] If the right one don't getcha then the left one will

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

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

[00:02:05] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:12] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:03:04] And you see me comin' better step aside

[00:03:08] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:03:11] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:03:15] If the right one don't getcha then the left one will

[00:03:18] You load sixteen tons what do ya get

[00:03:21] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:03:25] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:03:28] I owe my soul to the company store
