8.シックスティーン・トンズ
作詞：Merle Travis
作曲：Merle Travis
Some people say a man is mode out mud
A poor man＼'s made out muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that＼'s 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.
If you see me comin＼' better step a side
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 get you,
Then the left one will.
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.
