Testo di Sixteen Tons

Son yeah some people say a man's made outta mud But a poor man's made outta muscle and blood Muscle and blood skin and bone a mind That's weak and a back that's strong You load sixteen tons what do you get Another day older and deeper and debt St Peter don't you call me I can't go I owe my soul to the company store I owe my soul I owe my soul to the company store I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine Grabbed me a shovel and I went to the mine Loaded sicteen tons of No 9 coal And the storeboss said well bless my soul I load sixteen tons what do you get... [ guitar ] Well I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain Figting and trouble is my middle name I was raised in wood by mama of mine No hightoned mama makes me walk the line I load sixteen tons what do you get... If you see me comin' better step aside A lotta men didn't and a lotta men died One fist is iron the other one's steel If the right one don't get you then the left one will I load sixteen tons what do you get...
