《Sixteen Tons》歌词

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

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

[00:00:11] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:16] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:20] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:25] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:30] Another day older and deeper in debt

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

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

[00:00:57] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:01:02] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:01:06] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:01:11] And the straw boss said well a bless my soul

[00:01:15] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:20] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:24] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:29] I owe my soul to the company store

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

[00:01:51] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:56] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:02:00] Cain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line

[00:02:05] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:02:10] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:14] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:19] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:02:37] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:02:41] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:02:46] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:02:50] If the right one don't a get you then the left one will

[00:02:55] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:02:59] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:03:04] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:03:12] I owe my soul

[00:03:28] I owe my soul to the company store
