nicola arigliano - sixteen tons lyrics

Loading...

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

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
go man! swing!

i was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
sixteen tons of number nine coal
and the straw boss said “well, a-bless my soul”

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
go man!

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
can’t no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

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
owe-owe-owe-owe-owe-owe-owe-owe-owe ah!

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

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
eh-eh eh-eh
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
[parlato]
usciamo da questo labirinto maestro!
non si può…
grazie, grazie… grazie…
