《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Merle Travis

[00:00:07] Some people say a man is made outta mud

[00:00:10] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:15] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:18] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:22] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:25] You get another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:29] Saint peter don't you call me cause i can't go

[00:00:34] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:44] I was born one morning it was drizzling rain

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

[00:00:52] Raised in the canebrake by an ol'mama lion

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

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

[00:01:02] You get another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:06] Saint peter don't you call me cause i can't go

[00:01:11] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:26] If you see me coming better step aside

[00:01:30] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:01:34] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:01:38] If the right one don't a get you then the left one will

[00:01:41] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:45] You get another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:49] Saint peter don't you call me cause i can't go

[00:01:53] I owe my soul to the company store
