《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Kate Smith/Bill Stegmeyer And His Orchestra

[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

[00:00:37] 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

[00:00:48] And the straw boss said well a-bless my soul

[00:00:51] 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

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

[00:01:10] I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain

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

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

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

[00:01:24] 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

[00:01:34] I owe my soul to the company store

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

[00:01:47] A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died

[00:01:51] With one fist of iron and the other of steel

[00:01:53] If the right one don't get you then the left one will

[00:01:56] You load sixteen tons what do you get

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

[00:02:03] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:08] I owe my soul to the company store
