《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons - Eddy Arnold

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

[00:00:10] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:13] Muscle and blood and skin and bone

[00:00:16] With a mind that's weak and a back that's strong

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

[00:00:22] Another day older and deeper and debt

[00:00:25] St peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

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

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

[00:00:41] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:43] Loaded sixteen tons of No 9 coal

[00:00:47] And the storeboss said well bless my soul

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

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

[00:00:56] St peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:59] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:08] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:12] Figtin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:15] Raisin' the cane break by an old mountain lion

[00:01:18] Ain't no hightoned woman makes me walk the line

[00:01:21] You load sixteen tons

[00:01:25] Another day older and deeper and debt

[00:01:27] St peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:31] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:39] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:01:44] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:01:47] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:01:49] If the right one don't get you then the left one will

[00:01:53] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:56] Another day older and deeper and debt

[00:01:59] St peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:04] I owe my soul to the company store
