Sixteen Tons - Tom Jones (汤姆·琼斯)[00:00:00]
Written by:Merle Travis[00:00:01]
Some people say a man is made out of mud[00:00:09]
Well a poor man's made outta muscle and blood[00:00:14]
Muscle and blood[00:00:18]
Skin and bone[00:00:21]
A mind[00:00:23]
That's weak and a back that's strong[00:00:23]
You load sixteen tons and whaddaya get[00:00:27]
Another day older and deeper in dept[00:00:32]
Saint peter don'tcha call me[00:00:36]
'Cause I can't go[00:00:38]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:00:40]
I was born one morning[00:00:49]
When the sun didn't shine[00:00:51]
I picked up his shovel[00:00:54]
And walk to the mines[00:00:56]
I loaded sixteen tons number nine coal[00:00:58]
Till boss said[00:01:03]
Well uh bless my soul[00:01:05]
You load sixteen tons and whaddaya get on[00:01:07]
Another day older and deeper in dept[00:01:12]
Saint peter don'tcha call me[00:01:16]
'Cause I can't go[00:01:18]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:01:20]
I was born one mornin it was drizzlin' rain[00:01:29]
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name[00:01:34]
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion[00:01:39]
Cain't no a high toned woman make me[00:01:43]
Walk the line[00:01:46]
You load sixteen tons and what do you get[00:01:47]
Another day older and deeper in debt[00:01:52]
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go[00:01:57]
I owe my soul to the company store[00:02:01]
If you see me comin' better step aside[00:02:10]
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died[00:02:15]
I got one fist of iron[00:02:19]
The other of steel[00:02:22]
And the right one doesn't[00:02:23]
Get you then the list one will[00:02:25]
You load sixteen tons and whaddaya get[00:02:28]
Another day older and deeper in dept[00:02:32]
Saint peter don'tcha call me[00:02:37]
'Cause I can't go[00:02:39]
I owe my soul[00:02:43]
To the company[00:02:50]
Store[00:02:54]
