《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - The Comptones

[00:00:04] Some people say a man is made out of mud

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

[00:00:13] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:16] A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:19] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:22] 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

[00:00:38] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:43] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:46] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:50] 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

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

[00:01:03] I owe my soul to the company store

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

[00:01:18] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:21] Raised in the Canebrake by an old mama lion

[00:01:24] Ain't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line

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

[00:01:31] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:34] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

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

[00:01:47] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:01:52] A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died

[00:01:56] With one fist of iron and the other of steel

[00:01:58] If the right one don't get you then the left one will

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

[00:02:05] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:09] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:14] I owe my soul to the company store
