Lyrics and translation The Weavers - Sixteen Tons - Remastered
Some
people
say
a
man
is
made
out
of
mud
Certains
disent
qu'un
homme
est
fait
de
boue
A
poor
man′s
made
out
of
muscle
and
blood
Un
pauvre
est
fait
de
muscle
et
de
sang
Muscle
and
blood
and
skin
and
bones
Muscle
et
sang
et
peau
et
os
A
mind
that's
a-weak
and
a
back
that′s
strong
Un
esprit
faible
et
un
dos
fort
You
load
sixteen
tons,
what
do
you
get
Tu
charges
seize
tonnes,
qu'est-ce
que
tu
obtiens
Another
day
older
and
deeper
in
debt
Un
jour
de
plus
et
plus
profond
dans
les
dettes
Saint
Peter
don't
you
call
me
'cause
I
can′t
go
Saint
Pierre,
ne
m'appelle
pas,
car
je
ne
peux
pas
y
aller
I
owe
my
soul

store
Je
dois
mon
âme
au
magasin
de
la
compagnie
I
was
born
one
mornin′
when
the
sun
didn't
shine
Je
suis
né
un
matin
où
le
soleil
ne
brillait
pas
I
picked
up
my
shovel
and
I
walked
to
the
mine
J'ai
pris
ma
pelle
et
j'ai
marché
jusqu'à
la
mine
I
loaded
sixteen
tons
of
number
nine
coal
J'ai
chargé
seize
tonnes
de
charbon
numéro
neuf
And
the
straw
boss
said
"Well,
a-bless
my
soul"
Et
le
contremaître
a
dit
"Eh
bien,
bénis
mon
âme"
You
load
sixteen
tons,

Tu
charges

tonnes,
qu'est-ce
que
tu
obtiens
Another
day
older
and
deeper
in
debt
Un
jour
de
plus
et

profond
dans

I
was
born
one
mornin',
it
was
drizzlin′
rain
Je
suis
né
un
matin,
il
pleuvait
à
verse
Fightin'
and
trouble
are
my
middle
name
La
bagarre
et
les
ennuis
sont
mes
deuxièmes
prénoms
Raised
in
the
Canebrake
by
an
old
mama
lion
Élevé
dans
le
Canebrake
par
une
vieille
lionne
Ain't
no
a
high-toned
woman
make
me
walk
the
line
Pas
une
femme
de
haut
rang
ne
me
fera
marcher
sur
la
ligne

If
you
see
me
comin′,
better
step
aside
Si
tu
me
vois
venir,
mieux
vaut
te
mettre
de
côté
A
lot
of
men
didn't,
and
a
lot
of
men
died
Beaucoup
d'hommes
ne
l'ont
pas
fait,
et
beaucoup
d'hommes
sont
morts
With
one
fist
of
iron,
and
the
other
of
steel
Avec
un
poing
de
fer,
et
l'autre
d'acier
If
the
right
one
don′t
get
you
then
the
left
one
will
Si
la
droite
ne
te
prend
pas,
alors
la
gauche
le
fera
