Sixteen Tons 歌詞

Some people say a man's made outta mud a poor man's made outta muscle and blood Muscle and blood and skin and bones a mind that's weak and a back that's strong You load sixteen tons what do you get just another day older deeper and debt St Peter don't you call me I cause can't go I owe my soul to the company store [ guitar ] I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine I picked up a shovel walked out to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of No 9 coal and the storeboss said well bless my soul You load sixteen tons... [ guitar ] I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain A figtin' and trouble that's my middle name I was risin' the cane raiped by that ol' mom of mine Ain't no hightoned woman makes me walk the line You load sixteen tons... [ guitar ] Well if you see me comin' you better step aside a lotta men didn't 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 You load sixteen tons...
