《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons - The Drifters Caravan

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

[00:00:03] Is made outta' mud

[00:00:04] A poor man's made

[00:00:06] Outta' muscle and blood

[00:00:08] Muscle and blood and

[00:00:10] Skin and bones

[00:00:12] A mind that's a weak and

[00:00:13] A back that's strong

[00:00:15] You load sixteen tons

[00:00:17] What do you get

[00:00:19] Another day older

[00:00:20] And deeper in debt

[00:00:22] Saint peter don't you

[00:00:23] Call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:26] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:36] I was born one mornin'

[00:00:38] When the sun didn't shine

[00:00:40] I picked up my shovel and

[00:00:42] I walked to the mine

[00:00:43] I loaded sixteen tons

[00:00:45] Of number 9 coal

[00:00:47] And the store boss said

[00:00:49] Well a bless my soul

[00:00:51] You load sixteen tons

[00:00:53] What do you get

[00:00:55] Another day older and

[00:00:56] Deeper in debt

[00:00:58] Saint peter don't you

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

[00:01:02] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:13] I was born one mornin'

[00:01:14] It was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:17] Fightin' and trouble are

[00:01:18] My middle name

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

[00:01:22] By an ol' mama lion

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

[00:01:25] Woman make me walk the line

[00:01:27] You load sixteen tons

[00:01:30] What do you get

[00:01:31] Another day older and

[00:01:33] Deeper in debt

[00:01:34] Saint peter don't you

[00:01:36] Call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:38] I owe my soul to the

[00:01:40] Company store

[00:01:44] If you see me comin'

[00:01:46] Better step aside

[00:01:48] A lotta men didn't

[00:01:50] A lotta men died

[00:01:52] One fist of iron the

[00:01:54] Other of steel

[00:01:55] If the right one don't a get

[00:01:57] You then the left one will

[00:01:59] You load sixteen tons

[00:02:01] What do you get

[00:02:03] Another day older and

[00:02:05] Deeper in debt

[00:02:06] Saint peter don't you

[00:02:08] Call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:12] I owe my soul to the company store
