《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons - frankie laine

[00:00:07] Some people say a man is made of a mud

[00:00:11] A poor man's made of muscie and blood

[00:00:15] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:19] A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:22] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:26] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:29] Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go

[00:00:33] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:44] I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:48] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:52] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:56] And the straw boss said well bless my soul

[00:00:59] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:01:03] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:07] Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go

[00:01:11] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:21] I was born one morning it was drizzling rain

[00:01:26] Fighting and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:29] I was raised in cane-brake by an old mamma lion

[00:01:32] Can't no high toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:36] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:01:41] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:44] Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go

[00:01:48] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:59] If you see me coming better step aside

[00:02:03] A lotta men didn't and a lotta men died

[00:02:07] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:02:10] If the right one don't get you then the left one will

[00:02:14] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:02:18] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:21] Say brother don't you call me 'cos I can't go

[00:02:27] I owe my soul to the company store
