the nightwatchman - 16 tons كلمات الأغنية

[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 and skin and bones
a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong

[chorus]
you load 16 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

[verse 2]
shh
i was born one morning when the sun didn’t shine
i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
and the straw boss said, “well, a-bless my soul”

[chorus]
16 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

[verse 3]
yeah
i was born one morning, it was drizzling rain
a-fighting and trouble are my middle name
i was raised in the canebrake by an ol’ mama lion
ain’t no boss man live make me walk the line

[chorus]
i load 16 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

[verse 4]
so if you see me coming, 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 you
then the left one will

[chorus]
you load 16 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

[outro]
to the company store
to the company store
yeah
