Sixteen Tons - Johnny Cash

Sixteen Tons LRC歌词

[00:08.080]Some people say a man is made outta mud

[00:13.070]A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

[00:16.680]Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:19.680]A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

[00:22.850]You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

[00:26.370]Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:29.570]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:33.180]I owe my soul to the company store

[00:37.260]

[00:47.000]I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

[00:51.350]I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

[00:54.160]I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

[00:57.150]And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

[01:00.060]You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

[01:03.430]Another day older and deeper in debt

[01:06.220]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[01:09.530]I owe my soul to the company store

[01:14.840]

[01:22.320]I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain

[01:27.160]Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

[01:30.300]I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol' mama lion

[01:33.370]Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

[01:36.950]You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

[01:39.860]Another day older and deeper in debt

[01:42.860]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[01:46.500]I owe my soul to the company store

[01:51.550]

[01:58.710]If you see me comin', better step aside

[02:03.440]A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died

[02:06.850]One fist of iron, the other of steel

[02:09.350]If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will

[02:12.390]You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

[02:16.190]Another day older and deeper in debt

[02:19.090]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[02:25.330]I owe my soul to the company store

[02:42.840]
