《16 Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] 16 Tons - Tom Lardner/Allfreedom

[00:00:14] Some people say a man is made out of mud

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

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

[00:00:24] A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:27] You load 16 tons what do you get

[00:00:31] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:34] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

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

[00:00:40] Shh

[00:00:53] I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:58] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:01:00] Loaded 16 tons of number nine coal

[00:01:04] And the straw boss said Well a-bless my soul

[00:01:07] 16 tons what do you get

[00:01:11] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:14] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:17] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:20] Yeah

[00:01:34] I was born one morning it was drizzling rain

[00:01:38] A-fighting and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:40] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:43] Ain't no boss man live make me walk the line

[00:01:47] I load 16 tons what do you get

[00:01:50] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:54] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:57] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:02:26] So if you see me coming better step aside

[00:02:30] A lot of men didn't a lot of men died

[00:02:33] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:02:36] If the right one don't get you

[00:02:38] Then the left one will

[00:02:39] You load 16 tons and what do you get

[00:02:43] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:46] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:53] I owe my damn soul

[00:03:03] To the company store

[00:03:09] 16 tons

[00:03:12] Yeah 16 tons
