《Sixteen Tons / Chain Gang》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons / Chain Gang - Guy Stroman

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

[00:00:12] 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

[00:00:24] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:00:29] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:33] Say peter don't you call me cus i can't go

[00:00:37] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:46] I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:52] I picked my shovel and i walked to the mine

[00:00:56] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:01:00] And the store boy say well bless my soul

[00:01:04] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:01:09] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:13] Say peter don't you call me cus i can't go

[00:01:17] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:25] Huh hah huh

[00:01:31] I can hear them saying

[00:01:33] Huh hah huh hah

[00:01:40] Well don't you know

[00:01:41] That's the sound of the men

[00:01:43] Working on the chain gang

[00:01:49] That's the sound of the men

[00:01:51] Working on the chain gang

[00:01:57] All day long they work so hard

[00:02:00] To the sun is going down

[00:02:04] Working on the highways and byways

[00:02:07] And wearing wearing a crown

[00:02:12] You hear their moaning their lives away

[00:02:16] Then you hear somebody say

[00:02:19] Well don't you know

[00:02:20] That's the sound of the men

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

[00:02:28] That's the sound of the men

[00:02:30] Working on the chain gang

[00:02:34] I can hear them saying

[00:02:36] Huh my my my

[00:02:39] Work is so hard

[00:02:43] Well give me water

[00:02:44] Huh i'm so thirsty

[00:02:48] Huh my work is so hard

[00:02:53] If you see me coming better step aside

[00:02:59] A lot of men didn't

[00:03:01] A lot of men died

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

[00:03:07] If the right don't get ya then the left one will

[00:03:11] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:03:16] Another day older and deeper in debt

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

[00:03:24] I owe my soul to the company store
