16 Tons lyrics
[1vsl]
Some people say a man is made out of mud well a poor man's made outta
muscle and blood..Muscle and blood and skin and bone..and a mind
that's weak..but a back thats strong.
[2vs]
And he was born one morning when the sun didn't shine..
He picked up his shovel and he went to the mines
He loaded 16 tons of that number 9 coal..Til-
the Straw boss said Well-uh b-less my soul!
[CHR]
You load 16 tons and whaddaya get??
another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don'tcha call me 'Cause-
I can't go...I owe my soul to the Company
Store
[3vs]
He was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain
fightin'and trouble are his middle name
He was raised in a cave,bred by an old mama lion
ain't no high tone woman makes him walk the line
[4vs]
So if you see him coming..you better step aside,-
Allot of men didn't and allot of men died.
He's got one fist of iron, and the other of
steel..And if the right one doesn't get you..
Then the left one will...
[CHR]
24 Hours lyrics
Verse 1
Salty skin on my body
Sweated pores like rain
I can feel the attack
But I'm known to pain
The cold is creeping in
and it chills my veins
I've got one more minute, twenty four hours to go
Verse 2
No redemption in my heart
No illusions owned for start
What I did I cant take back
There's no use in wishing that
The bell is ringing now
and the clock counts down
I got one more minute, twenty four hours to go
Chorus
Angels wont help me now
This fate is all mine
Darkness is fading out
and so is my time
Verse 3
Hear the footsteps at my door
I don't struggle anymore
As i take my final breath
I don't feel what lies ahead
I'm leaving to a place
Where ill see your face
I had one more minute, twenty four hours ago
One more minute, twenty four hours ago
