lirik lagu lorne greene - sixteen tons
[intro]
you know in my travels around the country
i met a lot of tough, two~fisted men
and just about the toughest of them all
were the coal miners
did you ever load sixteen tons?
you know what you’d get?
hm, well listen to this
[verse 1]
some people say a man is made out of mud
a poor man’s made out of muscle and blood
muscle and blood, skin and bones
a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong
[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, whaddaya get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint peter don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
[refrain]
i owe my soul to the company’s store
(i owe my soul to the company’s store, wooh~ooh)
[verse 2]
i was born one mornin’ whеn the sun didn’t shine
i picked up my shovеl and i walked to the mine
i loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
and the straw~boss said: ‘well bless my soul!’
[chorus]
(you load sixteen tons) whaddaya get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint peter don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
[refrain]
i owe my soul to the company’s store
(i owe my soul to the company’s store, wooh~ooh)
[bridge]
i was born one morning, it was drizzlin’ rain
fighting and trouble are my middle name
i was raised in a swamp by an old mama lion
can’t no high~toned woman make me toe the line
[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, whaddaya get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint peter don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
[refrain]
i owe my soul to the company’s store
(i owe my soul to the company’s store, wooh~ooh)
[verse 3]
if you see me a comin’, better step aside
a lot of men didn’t, a lot of men died
one fist of iron, the other of steel
if the right one don’t get ya, then the left one will
[outro]
you load sixteen tons, whaddaya 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’s store
(i owe my soul to the company’s store, wooh~ooh)
yes i owe my soul
to the company’s store (ooh)
(ba ba ba ba ba ba!)
