《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons - The Platters

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

[00:00:06] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:10] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:14] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

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

[00:00:21] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:26] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:29] I owe my soul to the company store

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

[00:00:42] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:45] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:49] And the straw boss said Well a bless my soul

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

[00:00:57] Another day older and deeper in debt

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

[00:01:05] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:11] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:01:17] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:01:21] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:01:24] If the right one don't a get you then the left one will

[00:01:28] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:32] Another day older and deeper in debt

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

[00:01:40] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:46] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:52] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:55] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:59] Cain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line

[00:02:03] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:02:07] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:11] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:18] I owe my soul to the company store
