Jimmy Dean - Sixteen Tons слова песни
Some people say a man is made outta mud.A poor man`s made outta muscle and blood.Muscle and blood, skin and bones;A mind that`s weak and a back that`s strong. You load sixteen tons an` what do you get?Another day older and deeper in debt.St Peter don`t you call me cause I can`t go:I owe my soul to the company store. Well, I was born one mornin` when the sun didn`t shine.I picked up a shovel, an` I walked out to the mine.I loaded sixteen tons of Number 9 coal,An` the store boss said: "Well, bless my soul." You load sixteen tons an` what do you get?Another day older and deeper in debt.St Peter don`t you call me cause I can`t go:I owe my soul to the company store. Well, I was born one mornin`, it was drizzlin` rain.Fightin` an` trouble was my middle name.I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion,Can`t no high-toned woman makes me walk the line. You load sixteen tons an` what do you get?Another day older and deeper in debt.St Peter don`t you call me cause I can`t go:I owe my soul to the company store. Well, if you see me comin`, better step aside.A lotta men didn`t, an` a lotta men died.One fist of iron, the other of steel.If the right one don`t get you, then the left one will. You load sixteen tons an` what do you get?Another day older and deeper in debt.St Peter don`t you call me cause I can`t go:I owe my soul to the company store.
