《Sixteen tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen tons (十六吨) - Tennessee Ernie Ford

[00:00:05] Some people say a man

[00:00:08] Is made outta mud

[00:00:10] A poor man's made

[00:00:11] Outta muscle and blood

[00:00:13] Muscle and blood

[00:00:14] And skin and bones

[00:00:17] A mind that's a-weak

[00:00:18] And a back that's strong

[00:00:20] You load sixteen tons

[00:00:21] What do you get

[00:00:23] Another day older

[00:00:25] And deeper in debt

[00:00:26] Saint Peter don't you

[00:00:28] Call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:30] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:39] I was born one mornin'

[00:00:42] When the sun didn't shine

[00:00:43] I picked up my shovel

[00:00:45] And I walked to the mine

[00:00:46] I loaded sixteen tons

[00:00:48] Of number nine coal

[00:00:49] And the straw boss said

[00:00:51] "Well a-bless my soul"

[00:00:53] You load sixteen tons

[00:00:54] What do you get

[00:00:56] Another day older

[00:00:58] And deeper in debt

[00:00:59] Saint Peter don't

[00:01:01] You call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:03] I owe my soul to

[00:01:05] The company store

[00:01:12] I was born one mornin'

[00:01:15] It was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:17] Fightin' and trouble

[00:01:18] Are my middle name

[00:01:20] I was raised in the

[00:01:21] Canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:23] Cain't no-a high-toned

[00:01:23] Woman make me walk the line

[00:01:26] You load sixteen tons

[00:01:28] What do you get

[00:01:29] Another day older

[00:01:31] And deeper in debt

[00:01:33] Saint Peter don't you

[00:01:34] Call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:36] I owe my soul

[00:01:38] To the company store

[00:01:46] If you see me comin'

[00:01:49] Better step aside

[00:01:51] A lotta men didn't

[00:01:52] A lotta men died

[00:01:54] One fist of iron

[00:01:56] The other of steel

[00:01:57] If the right

[00:01:58] One don't a-get you

[00:01:59] Then the left one will

[00:02:01] You load sixteen tons

[00:02:02] What do you get

[00:02:04] Another day older

[00:02:06] And deeper in debt

[00:02:07] Saint Peter don't you

[00:02:09] Call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:10] I owe my soul to

[00:02:25] The company store
