Sixteen Tons — текст песни (Dave Dudley)

Some people say a man`s made outta mud a poor man`s made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones a mind that`s weak and a back that`s strong
You load sixteen tons what do you get just another day older deeper and debt
St Peter don`t you call me I cause can`t go I owe my soul to the company store
[ guitar ]
I was born one mornin` when the sun didn`t shine
I picked up a shovel walked out to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of No 9 coal and the storeboss said well bless my soul
You load sixteen tons...
[ guitar ]
I was born one mornin` it was drizzlin` rain
A figtin` and trouble that`s my middle name
I was risin` the cane raiped by that ol` mom of mine
Ain`t no hightoned woman makes me walk the line
You load sixteen tons...
[ guitar ]
Well if you see me comin` you better step aside a lotta men didn`t a lotta men died
One fist is iron the other one`s steel
If the right one don`t get you then the left one will
You load sixteen tons...
