《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Fred Frohberg

[00:00:08] Some people say a man is made out of mud

[00:00:13] A poor man's made out of muscle and blood

[00:00:16] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:20] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:23] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:28] Another day older and deeper in debt

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

[00:00:35] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:44] 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

[00:00:53] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:56] And the straw boss said well a bless my soul

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

[00:01:04] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:08] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:12] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:22] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:27] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:30] Raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion

[00:01:33] Can't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:37] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:41] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:44] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:49] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:59] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:02:04] A lot of men didn't a lot of men died

[00:02:08] With one fist of iron and the other of steel

[00:02:11] If the right one don't get you then the left one will

[00:02:15] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:02:19] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:22] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:29] I owe my soul to the company store
