Шестнадцать тон

Говорят что людей слепили из земли,
Бедный сделан из мяса и крови.
Мясо и кровь, и кожа и скелет,
Разум слаб, но прочный хребет.

\	Ты дал на гора шестнадцать тон,
\	И стал на день старше, и вырос твой долг,
\	Святой Петр, звать меня не в прок -
\	Душа моя взята фирмой в залог.

Я родился утром, когда дождь шел,
Я взял лопату, и в шахту пошел.
Загрузил шестнадцать тон девятого угля,
А босс лишь сказал, "Ну и ну, ну дела"

\	Припев

Если видишь я иду, лучше посторонись,
Кто не подвинулся, здесь не прижились,
Кулак из железа, и другой - из стали,
Если правый не справится, другой достанет.

\	Припев

Оригинал: Sixteen Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford, 1950-64

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

\	(Chorus:) 
\	You haul Sixteen Tons, whadaya get?
\	Another 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
Picked up a shovel and I walked to the mine
I hauled Sixteen Tons of number 9 coal
And the straw-boss said, "Well, bless my soul"

\	(Repeat Chorus)

Born one morning it was drizzle and rain
Fightin' and Trouble are my middle name
I was raised in a canebrake by an old mama lion
And no high-toned woman make me walk the line

\	(Repeat Chorus)

See me comin' better step aside
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died
I got one fist of iron and the other of steel
And if the right one don't get ya, the left one will

\	(Repeat Chorus)

Born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
Picked up a shovel and I walked to the mine
I hauled Sixteen Tons of number 9 coal
And the straw-boss said, "Well, bless my soul"

\	(Repeat Chorus)
