《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - B.B. King (雷利·金)

[00:00:07] Some people says the man's made out of mud,

[00:00:12] Or the man's made of muscle and blood

[00:00:15] Muscle and blood and skin and bone,

[00:00:18] A mind that's week and a back that's strong

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

[00:00:25] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:29] So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,

[00:00:32] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:42] I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine,

[00:00:46] Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine

[00:00:49] I loaded sixteen ton of number nine coal,

[00:00:53] The straw-boss said, "God-dog let's my soul"

[00:00:56] You load sixteen tons and, what do you get,

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

[00:01:03] So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,

[00:01:07] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:17] I was born one mornin' when it was drizzle in rain,

[00:01:21] Fightin' and shootin' is my middle name

[00:01:24] Born in a canebreak

[00:01:26] By an ol' mama hound,

[00:01:28] No high-tone mama can make me walk the line

[00:01:31] I load sixteen tons, and what do you get,

[00:01:35] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:38] So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,

[00:01:42] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:52] You see me comin' you better step aside,

[00:01:56] A lot of men didn't and a whole lot of them died

[00:01:59] One fist of iron and one of steal,

[00:02:02] The right one don't get you, boy, the left one will

[00:02:06] So, load sixteen ton, what do you get,

[00:02:09] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:13] So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,

[00:02:16] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:02:24] I owe my soul to the company store
