16 Toneladas - Alberto Vázquez

作词：Merle Travis/Santos

作曲：Merle Travis/Santos

Some people say a man is made out of muda

Poor man's made out of muscle and blood

Muscle and blood

And skin and bonesa mind that's weak and a back

That's strong you load sixteen tons 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 morning when the sun didn't shine

I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coaland the straw boss

Said well a bless my soul

You load sixteen tons 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 morning it

Was drizzling rain fighting and trouble are

My middle name

I was raised in the cane break by an old mama lion

Ain't no

High tone woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen

Tons 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

If you see me

Coming better step asidea lot of men didn't a lot

Of men die

Done fist of iron the other of steel if

The right one don't get you then the left one

Will you load sixteen tons 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
