Lyrics 16トン(シクスティーン・トン) - Frank Nagai

エーン、ヤッサノサ エンヤサ
俺らの荷物は 重いぞ 重いぞ
もうすぐソレ 墓場だ
16トン(Sixteen tons)
掘れよ ツルハシ シャベルだ
モッコをかつげ ヨイコラサ
あの娘にも おさらばだ

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 Perter don't you call me
'cause I can't go
I owe my soul
to the company store

エーン、ヤッサノサ エンヤサ
くる日も くる日も
泥んこだ 泥んこだ
まっ黒に なってね
16トン(Sixteen tons)
かつげ 百貫目の荷物
涙と汗で ヨイコラサ
やるだけやったら極楽だ

I was born on mornin
when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and
walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of
number nine coal
And the straw boss said
"Well, a-bless my soul"

You load sixteen tons,
what do you get
Another day older and
deeper in debt
Saint Perter don't you
call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul
to the company store
