《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Tom Jones (汤姆·琼斯)

[00:00:12] Some people say a man is made outta mud

[00:00:17] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:21] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:26] A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:30] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:34] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:39] Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go

[00:00:43] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:52] I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:57] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:01:01] I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal

[00:01:06] And the store boss said "Well a-bless my soul"

[00:01:10] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:15] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:19] Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go

[00:01:23] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:32] I was born one morning it was drizzling rain

[00:01:37] Fighting and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:41] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol mama lion

[00:01:45] Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:50] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:55] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:59] Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go

[00:02:04] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:02:13] If you see me coming better step aside

[00:02:17] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:02:22] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:02:26] If the right one don't a-get you then the left one will

[00:02:31] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:02:35] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:40] Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go

[00:02:45] I owe my soul to the company store
