《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Muddy River Revue

[00:00:17] Some people say a man is made outta mud

[00:00:21] A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:00:24] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:28] A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:31] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:00:35] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:38] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:41] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:02] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:01:06] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:01:09] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:01:13] And the straw boss said well a bless my soul

[00:01:16] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:01:20] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:23] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:27] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:47] If you see me comin' better step aside

[00:01:51] A lotta men didn't a lotta men died

[00:01:54] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:01:57] If the right one don't a get you

[00:01:59] Then the left one will

[00:02:01] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:02:04] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:08] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:11] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:02:32] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain

[00:02:36] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:02:39] I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

[00:02:42] Can't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:02:45] You load sixteen tons what do you get

[00:02:50] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:52] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:03:01] I owe my soul to the company store
