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
You load 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
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
人間は土で出来たと言う奴がいるが
貧乏な人間は筋肉と血とで出来た
筋肉と血と皮と骨と
弱い頭と強い背骨と
16トン積み込んで何をもらう
いつか年取って借金も増えるのに
聖ペトロ俺を呼ぶな俺は行けねえから
俺の魂は会社の売店に売り渡したんだ
俺が生まれた朝は天気が悪かった
俺はシャベルを取り炭坑まで歩いて来た
俺が九等の石炭を16トン積み込むと
若親方は「おお、すげえ」と言う
