Sixteen Tons (十六吨) - Tennessee Ernie Ford[00:00:00]
Some people say a man[00:00:05]
Is made outta mud[00:00:08]
A poor man's made[00:00:10]
Outta muscle and blood[00:00:11]
Muscle and blood[00:00:13]
And skin and bones[00:00:14]
A mind that's a-weak[00:00:17]
And a back that's strong[00:00:18]
You load sixteen tons [00:00:20]
What do you get[00:00:21]
Another day older[00:00:23]
And deeper in debt[00:00:25]
Saint Peter don't you[00:00:26]
Call me 'cause I can't go[00:00:28]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:30]
I was born one mornin'[00:00:39]
When the sun didn't shine[00:00:42]
I picked up my shovel[00:00:43]
And I walked to the mine[00:00:45]
I loaded sixteen tons[00:00:46]
Of number nine coal[00:00:48]
And the straw boss said[00:00:49]
"Well a-bless my soul"[00:00:51]
You load sixteen tons [00:00:53]
What do you get[00:00:54]
Another day older[00:00:56]
And deeper in debt[00:00:58]
Saint Peter don't[00:00:59]
You call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:01]
I owe my soul to[00:01:03]
The company store[00:01:05]
I was born one mornin' [00:01:12]
It was drizzlin' rain[00:01:15]
Fightin' and trouble[00:01:17]
Are my middle name[00:01:18]
I was raised in the[00:01:20]
Canebrake by an ol' mama lion[00:01:21]
Cain't no-a high-toned[00:01:23]
Woman make me walk the line[00:01:23]
You load sixteen tons[00:01:26]
What do you get[00:01:28]
Another day older[00:01:29]
And deeper in debt[00:01:31]
Saint Peter don't you[00:01:33]
Call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:34]
I owe my soul[00:01:36]
To the company store[00:01:38]
If you see me comin' [00:01:46]
Better step aside[00:01:49]
A lotta men didn't [00:01:51]
A lotta men died[00:01:52]
One fist of iron [00:01:54]
The other of steel[00:01:56]
If the right[00:01:57]
One don't a-get you[00:01:58]
Then the left one will[00:01:59]
You load sixteen tons [00:02:01]
What do you get[00:02:02]
Another day older[00:02:04]
And deeper in debt[00:02:06]
Saint Peter don't you[00:02:07]
Call me 'cause I can't go[00:02:09]
I owe my soul to[00:02:10]
The company store[00:02:25]
