[00:00.000] 作词 : Pete Seeger
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Travis Merle
[00:07.982]Well now some folks say a man is made out of mud
[00:11.982]A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
[00:15.733]Muscle and blood and skin and bone
[00:18.979]A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
[00:22.483]You load 16 tons, what do you get?
[00:25.983]You get another day older and deeper in debt
[00:29.233]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[00:32.733]I owe my soul to the company store
[00:42.479]Well I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
[00:46.223]I grabbed my shovel and I went to the mine
[00:49.729]Loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
[00:53.233]And the straw boss said. "Well, a-bless my soul"
[00:56.233]You loaded 16 tons, what do you get?
[00:59.732]You get another day older and deeper in debt
[01:03.733]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:06.732]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:16.227]Well I was born one morning, in the drizzling rain
[01:19.978]A-fighting and trouble are my middle name
[01:23.232]So if you see me coming, you better step aside
[01:26.482]A lot of men didn't, and a lot of men died
[01:29.732]You load 16 tons and what do you get?
[01:32.981]You get another day older and deeper in debt
[01:36.724]Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
[01:39.982]I owe my soul to the company store
[01:49.481]I owe my soul to the company store

Well now some folks say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bone
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
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
Well I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I grabbed my shovel and I went to the mine
Loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said. "Well, a-bless my soul"
You loaded 16 tons, what do you get?
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
Well I was born one morning, in the drizzling rain
A-fighting and trouble are my middle name
So if you see me coming, you better step aside
A lot of men didn't, and a lot of men died
You load 16 tons and what do you get?
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 owe my soul to the company store
