歌词
Some people say a man is made out of mud
有说男人是泥巴捏
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
穷人则是血肉之躯
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
皮包血肉和筋骨
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
脑袋空空身强壮
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
挖了十六吨，你能得到啥
Another day older and deeper in debt
日历加一天，帐又多一笔
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
圣彼得哟，别召唤了，我还没法走
I owe my soul to the company store
我把魂儿都押给老爷了
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
我出生在一个日出前
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
拿起铁锹就进了矿
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
挖了十六吨九号煤
And the straw boss said ＂Well, a-bless my soul＂
工头喊着上帝保佑
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
挖了十六吨，你能得到啥
Another day older and deeper in debt
日历加一天，帐又多一笔
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
圣彼得哟，别再召唤了，我还没法走
I owe my soul to the company store
我把魂儿都押给老爷了
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
我出生的早晨，下着毛毛雨
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
打架和麻烦就是我的代号
Raised in the Canebrake by an old mama lion
坎布雷克长大，老妈妈把我养大
Ain't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line
从没哪个贵妇人教我唱
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
挖了十六吨，你能得到啥
Another day older and deeper in debt
日历加一天，帐又多一笔
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
圣彼得哟，别召唤了，我还没法走
I owe my soul to the company store
我把魂儿都押给老爷了
If you see me comin', better step aside
要是见我走过来，最好闪一边
A lot of men didn't, and a lot of men died
好多人没闪开，好多人丧了命
With one fist of iron, and the other of steel
一只拳是铁，一只拳是钢
If the right one don't get you then the left one will
左拳没打上，右拳跑不了
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
挖了十六吨，你能得到啥？
Another day older and deeper in debt
日历加一天，帐又多一笔
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
圣彼得哟，别召唤了，我还不能走
I owe my soul to the company store
我把魂儿押给老爷了
