lirik lagu the platters – sixteen tons
some people say a man is made outta mud
a poor man´s made outta muscle and blood
muscle and blood and skin and bones
a mind that´s a-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 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, 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
i was raised in the canebrake- by an ol´ mama lion
cain´t no-a high-toned 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 comin´, better step aside
a lotta men didn´t, a lotta men died
one fist of iron, the other of steel
if the right one don´t a-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
