《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons - Kate Smith

[00:00:05] 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 morning 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

[00:00:49] 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

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

[00:01:11] I was born one morning it was drizzling rain

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

[00:01:18] I was raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion

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

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

[00:01:28] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:31] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:35] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:43] If you see me coming better step aside

[00:01:48] A lot of men didn't a lot of men died

[00:01:51] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:01:54] If the right one don't

[00:01:55] Get you then the left one will

[00:01:57] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:02:01] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:04] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:10] I owe my soul to the company store
