《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:01] Sixteen Tons - Oscar Brown, Jr.

[00:00:06] Some people say a man is made out of mud

[00:00:10] 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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:42] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:45] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:48] And the straw boss said ＂Well, a-bless my soul＂

[00:00:52] You load sixteen tons, what do you get

[00:00:55] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:58] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

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

[00:01:11] I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:15] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:17] Raised in the Canebrake by an old mama lion

[00:01:21] Ain't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:24] You load sixteen tons, what do you get

[00:01:27] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:30] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:34] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:43] If you see me comin', better step aside

[00:01:47] A lot of men didn't, and a lot of men died

[00:01:50] With one fist of iron, and the other of steel

[00:01:53] If the right one don't get you then the left one will

[00:01:56] You load sixteen tons, what do you get

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

[00:02:03] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:06] I owe my soul to the company store
