Johnny Cash - Sixteen Tons şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Johnny Cash

albüm: Complete Mercury Albums 1986-1991


Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bone
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
Saint Peter don't you 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
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
You load sixteen tons and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
♪
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
Raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Ain't no a-high toned woman make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
♪
Heeey, if you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, and a lotta men died
With one fist of iron and the other of 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
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
