《Sixteen Tons/Chain Gang》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons/Chain Gang - Stan Chandler/Jason Graae

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

[00:00:11] A poor mans made out of muscle and blood

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

[00:00:20] A mind thats weak and a back thats strong

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

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

[00:00:32] Say peter don't you call me cus i can't go

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

[00:00:45] I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:51] I picked my shovel and i walked to the mine

[00:00:55] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:59] And the store boy say well bless my soul

[00:01:03] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:01:08] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:12] Say peter don't you call me cus i can't go

[00:01:16] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:25] Huh hah huh

[00:01:30] I can hear them saying

[00:01:32] Huh hah huh hah

[00:01:39] Well don't you know

[00:01:40] That's the sound of the men

[00:01:42] Working on the chain gang

[00:01:48] That's the sound of the men

[00:01:50] Working on the chain gang

[00:01:56] All day long they work so hard

[00:01:59] To the sun is going down

[00:02:03] Working on the highways and byways

[00:02:06] And wearing wearing a crown

[00:02:11] You hear their moaning their lives away

[00:02:15] Then you hear somebody say

[00:02:18] Well don't you know

[00:02:19] That's the sound of the men

[00:02:22] Working on the chain gang

[00:02:27] That's the sound of the men

[00:02:29] Working on the chain gang

[00:02:33] I can hear them saying

[00:02:35] Huh my my my

[00:02:38] Work is so hard

[00:02:42] Well give me water

[00:02:43] Huh i'm so thirsty

[00:02:47] Huh my work is so hard

[00:02:52] If you see me coming better step aside

[00:02:58] A lot of men didn't

[00:03:00] A lot of men died

[00:03:02] I got a one fist of iron the other steel

[00:03:06] If the right don't get ya then the left one will

[00:03:10] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:03:15] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:03:19] Say peter don't you call me cus i can't go

[00:03:23] I owe my soul to the company store
