Bảng hợp âm và lời bài hát Sixteen Tons – Tennessee Ernie Ford
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle 'n blood...
Muscle an' blood an' skin an' bone
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get?
Another day older an' deeper in debt
Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
Picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
Loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the strawboss said, "Well, bless my soul!"
You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get?
Another day older an' deeper in debt
Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one morning in the drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebreak by an' ol' mama lion
Ain't no high-tone woman make me walk the line.
You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get?
Another day older an' deeper in debt
Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
If ya see me comin' better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
With one fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don' getcha then the left one will.
You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get?
Another day older an' deeper in debt
Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
