《Sixteen Tons(Dieciseis Toneladas)》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (Dieciseis Toneladas) - The Platters

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

[00:00:06] A poor man's made out of muscle and blood

[00:00:09] And muscle and blood skin and bones

[00:00:13] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:17] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:00:21] Another day older and deeper in debt

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

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

[00:00:34] I was born one morning

[00:00:38] When the sun didn't shine

[00:00:40] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:43] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:47] That the straw boss said well a bless my soul

[00:00:51] You load sixteen tons and 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

[00:01:02] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:08] If you see me coming better step aside

[00:01:14] A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died

[00:01:17] A one fist of iron and the other of steel

[00:01:21] If the right one don't

[00:01:22] Get you then the left one will

[00:01:25] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:01:29] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:32] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

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

[00:01:42] I was born one morning it was drizzling rain

[00:01:48] Fighting and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:51] I was raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion

[00:01:55] Ain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:59] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:02:03] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:06] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

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