《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons

[00:00:02] Merle Travis

[00:00:05] Some people say a man is made outta mud

[00:00:10] A poor man's made outta 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

[00:00:20] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

[00:00:23] Another day older and deeper in debt

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

[00:00:30] 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

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

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

[00:00:56] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:59] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

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

[00:01:12] I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:16] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:20] I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:23] Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:26] You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

[00:01:30] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:33] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:36] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:46] If you see me comin', better step aside

[00:01:51] A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died

[00:01:54] One fist of iron, the other of steel

[00:01:57] If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will

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

[00:02:04] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:07] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:13] I owe my soul to the company store
