Sixteen Tons 歌词

I... was born one morning when the sun didn't shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal And the straw boss said, "well, a bless my soul" chorus He loaded sixteen tons What do you get Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter don't you call me Cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store I was born one morning when it was drizzling rain Fighting and trouble is my middle name I was raised in a King Break By an old mother lion Ain't no high talking woman gonna make me walk the line repeat chorus Some people say a man Is made out of mud A poor man's made outta Muscle and blood Muscle and blood, skin and bone A mind that's weak And a back's that strong repeat chorus Well, if you see me comin' Better step aside Cause a lot of men didn't And a lot of men died One fist of iron, the other of steel If the right one don't get you Then the right one will repeat chorus
