Sixteen Tons

Dans le style de

The Platters

Paroles

some people say man
is made out mud

a poor man's made out
of muscle and blood

muscle and blood
skin and bones

a mind that's weak and
a back that's strong

you load sixteen tons
and what do you get

another day older
and deeper in debt

in saint peter don't you
call me 'cos i can't go

i owe my soul
to the company store

i was born one morning
when the sun didn't shine

i picked up the shovel
and walked to the mine

i loaded sixteen tons
of number nine coal

and the straw boss said
well, bless my soul

you load sixteen tons
and what do you get

another day older
and deeper in debt

in saint peter don't you
call me 'cos i can't go

i owe my soul
to the company store

if you see me coming
you better step aside

a lot of men didn't and
a lot of men died

my one fist is iron
and the other one's steel

if the right one don't get
you then the left one will

you load sixteen tons
and what do you get

another day older
and deeper in debt

in saint peter don't you
call me 'cos i can't go

i owe my soul
to the company store

i was born one morning
i was drizzling rain

fighting and troubles
are my middle name

i was raised in a canebrake
by an old mama lion

can't no high toned woman
make me walk the line

you load sixteen tons
and what do you get

another day older
and deeper in debt

in saint peter don't you
call me 'cos i can't go

i owe my soul
to the company store
