Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - The Magic Bones[00:00:00]
Written by:Tennessee Ernie Ford[00:00:05]
Some people say a man is made outta mud[00:00:11]
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood[00:00:15]
Muscle and blood and skin and bones[00:00:19]
A mind that's a weak and a back that's strong[00:00:23]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:00:27]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:31]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:35]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:38]
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine[00:00:49]
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine[00:00:53]
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal[00:00:58]
And the straw boss said[00:01:01]
Well a bless my soul[00:01:03]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:05]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:09]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:13]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:16]
I was born one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:28]
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name[00:01:32]
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion[00:01:36]
Cain't no a high toned woman make me walk the line[00:01:40]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:01:43]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:47]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:51]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:55]
If you see me comin' you know better step aside[00:02:44]
A lotta men didn't a lotta men died[00:02:48]
One fist of iron the other of steel[00:02:53]
If the right one get to and[00:02:56]
Then the left one will[00:02:58]
You load sixteen tons what do you get[00:03:00]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:03:04]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:03:08]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:03:11]
