《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Mississippi Chris Sharp

[00:00:26] Some people say a man is made out of mud

[00:00:32] A poor man's made out of muscle and blood

[00:00:36] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:39] And mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:43] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:47] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:51] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:55] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:12] I was born one morning when the sun don't shine

[00:01:17] I keep up my shovel now walked to the mine

[00:01:20] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:01:24] And the boss man said well a bless my soul

[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

[00:02:27] I was born one morning in the poor rain

[00:02:31] Fighting and trouble is my middle name

[00:02:34] I was raised in the canebrake my mama lion

[00:02:38] Ain't no high toned woman make me walk the line

[00:02:41] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:02:45] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:49] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:53] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:03:52] If you see me coming better step aside

[00:03:57] A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died

[00:04:00] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:04:04] If the right one don't

[00:04:05] Get you then left one will

[00:04:08] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:04:12] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:04:15] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:04:19] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:04:22] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:04:26] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:04:29] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:04:37] I owe my soul to the company store
