《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - The Magic Bones

[00:00:05] Written by：Tennessee Ernie Ford

[00:00:11] Some people say a man is made outta mud

[00:00:15] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:19] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:23] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

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

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

[00:00:35] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:38] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:49] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:53] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:58] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:01:01] And the straw boss said

[00:01:03] Well a bless my soul

[00:01:05] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:09] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:13] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:16] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:28] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:32] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:36] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:40] Cain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:43] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:47] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:51] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:55] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:02:44] If you see me comin' you know better step aside

[00:02:48] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:02:53] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:02:56] If the right one get to and

[00:02:58] Then the left one will

[00:03:00] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:03:04] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:03:08] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:03:11] I owe my soul to the company store
