Written by：Merle Travi

Some people say a man is made outta mud
有人说人不过是泥土捏成
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
穷苦人却由血肉铸就
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
血肉之躯与嶙峋瘦骨
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
脆弱心智与强健脊梁
You load sixteen tons what do you get
背负十六吨煤 换来了什么
Another day older and deeper in debt
徒增一日年岁 更陷债务深渊
Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go
圣彼得别召唤我 我无法前往
I owe my soul to the company store
我的灵魂已押给矿场商店
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
我出生在某个不见天光的清晨
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
扛起铁锹走向漆黑的矿井
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
挖满十六吨九号煤层
And the store boss said "Well a-bless my soul"
工头假惺惺说着"老天保佑"
You load sixteen tons what do you get
背负十六吨煤 换来了什么
Another day older and deeper in debt
徒增一日年岁 更陷债务深渊
Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go
圣彼得别召唤我 我无法前往
I owe my soul to the company store
我的灵魂已押给矿场商店
I was born one morning it was drizzling rain
我出生在那个细雨霏霏的清晨
Fighting and trouble are my middle name
争斗与苦难如影随形
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol mama lion
甘蔗林里母狮将我抚养成人
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
再高傲的女人也休想让我屈服
You load sixteen tons what do you get
背负十六吨煤 换来了什么
Another day older and deeper in debt
徒增一日年岁 更陷债务深渊
Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go
圣彼得别召唤我 我无法前往
I owe my soul to the company store
我的灵魂已押给矿场商店
If you see me coming better step aside
若见我走来 最好让开道
A lotta men didn't a lotta men died
多少人不听劝 多少人命丧黄泉
One fist of iron the other of steel
左手铁拳 右手钢臂
If the right one don't a-get you then the left one will
右拳若打不倒 左拳必取你命
You load sixteen tons what do you get
背负十六吨煤 换来了什么
Another day older and deeper in debt
徒增一日年岁 更陷债务深渊
Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go
圣彼得别召唤我 我无法前往
I owe my soul to the company store
我的灵魂已押给矿场商店
