《Sixteen Tons》歌词

[00:00:00] Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Country Music Collective

[00:00:04] Some people say a man is made outta mud

[00:00:09] A poor man's made outta 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 mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:43] I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:00:46] I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:00:50] And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

[00:00:53] You load sixteen tons, what do you get

[00:00:57] Another day older and deeper in debt

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

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

[00:01:13] I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:17] Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[00:01:21] I was raised in the canebrake by an on mama lion

[00:01:24] Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:27] You load sixteen tons, what do you get

[00:01:31] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:34] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:38] I owe my soul to the company store

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

[00:01:52] A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died

[00:01:55] One fist of iron, the other of steel

[00:01:58] If the right one don't a-get you

[00:02:00] Then the left one will

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

[00:02:05] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:09] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:14] I owe my soul to the company store
