Sixteen Tons

演唱者:Stevie Wonder

专辑:Down to Earth

    Some folks say a man is made outta mud

    But 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 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, yeah, ha

    I was born when the sun didn't shine

    I became a man who would work in the mine

    I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

    The foreman said, \"Well, a-bless my soul\"

    I was born in drizzlin' rain

    Fightin' and trouble was my middle name

    When I come around, you better step aside

    A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died, yes they did

    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

    And hear you sing it one time with me

    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

    Everybody humming only

    Mmm, hmm, ooh, ooh, yeah

    Mmm, hmm, ooh, ooh
