Sixteen Tons

Sixteen Tons文本歌词

Some folks say a man is made outta mud

But a poor man's made outta muscle and blood

Muscle and blood, skin and bones

A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons and what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store, yeah, ha

I was born when the sun didn't shine

I became a man who would work in the mine

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

The foreman said, \"Well, a-bless my soul\"

I was born in drizzlin' rain

Fightin' and trouble was my middle name

When I come around, you better step aside

A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died, yes they did

You load sixteen tons and what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

And hear you sing it one time with me

Sixteen tons and what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

Everybody humming only

Mmm, hmm, ooh, ooh, yeah

Mmm, hmm, ooh, ooh
