《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Louis Neefs

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

[00:00:05] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:08] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:12] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:14] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:18] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:21] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:25] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:33] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:38] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:41] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:44] And the straw boss said well a bless my soul

[00:00:47] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:51] Another day older and deeper in debt

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

[00:00:58] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:06] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:11] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:14] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:01:17] Cain't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:21] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:24] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:27] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:31] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:41] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:01:45] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:01:49] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:01:52] If the right one don't a get you

[00:01:53] Then the left one will

[00:01:55] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:58] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:01] Saint peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

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