Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - B.B. King (雷利·金)[00:00:00]
Some people says the man's made out of mud,[00:00:07]
Or the man's made of muscle and blood[00:00:12]
Muscle and blood and skin and bone,[00:00:15]
A mind that's week and a back that's strong[00:00:18]
You load sixteen tons, so what do you get,[00:00:22]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:00:25]
So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,[00:00:29]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:32]
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine,[00:00:42]
Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine[00:00:46]
I loaded sixteen ton of number nine coal,[00:00:49]
The straw-boss said, "God-dog let's my soul"[00:00:53]
You load sixteen tons and, what do you get,[00:00:56]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:00]
So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,[00:01:03]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:07]
I was born one mornin' when it was drizzle in rain,[00:01:17]
Fightin' and shootin' is my middle name[00:01:21]
Born in a canebreak[00:01:24]
By an ol' mama hound,[00:01:26]
No high-tone mama can make me walk the line[00:01:28]
I load sixteen tons, and what do you get,[00:01:31]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:35]
So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,[00:01:38]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:42]
You see me comin' you better step aside,[00:01:52]
A lot of men didn't and a whole lot of them died[00:01:56]
One fist of iron and one of steal,[00:01:59]
The right one don't get you, boy, the left one will[00:02:02]
So, load sixteen ton, what do you get,[00:02:06]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:02:09]
So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,[00:02:13]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:16]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:24]
