《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Tim Timebomb

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

[00:00:03] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:06] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:09] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:12] You load sixteen tons what do you get

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

[00:00:19] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:22] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:25] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:28] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:32] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:35] And the straw boss said well a bless my soul

[00:00:38] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:41] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:44] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:47] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:17] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:20] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:23] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:27] Can't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:29] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:33] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:36] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:39] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:42] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:01:46] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:01:49] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:01:52] If the right one don't a get you

[00:01:53] Then the left one will

[00:01:55] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:58] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:01] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

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