《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Frankie laine

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

[00:00:09] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:12] 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

[00:00:20] 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

[00:00:37] I was born one mornin'

[00:00:39] 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 store boss said well bless my soul

[00:00:49] You load sixteen tons

[00:00:51] 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] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:15] I was raised in a canebreak by an old mountain lion

[00:01:17] Ain't no hightoned woman makes me walk the line

[00:01:21] You load sixteen tons

[00:01:23] What do you get

[00:01:24] Another day older and deeper and debt

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

[00:01:30] I owe my soul to the company store

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

[00:01:43] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:01:46] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:01:48] If the right one don't get you then the left one will

[00:01:52] You load sixteen tons

[00:01:54] What do you get

[00:01:55] Another day older and deeper and debt

[00:01:58] St peter don't you call me 'cause i can't go

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