Tennessee Ernie Ford - Sixteen Tons [20세기를 빛낸 팝]

Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

Chorus:
You load sixteen tons, and whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don'cha call me, cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

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

Chorus
I was born one morning, it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
Cain't no high-toned woman make me walk the line

Chorus
If you see me comin' better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't getcha then the left one will

이곡은 "20세기를 빛낸 팝송 히트곡100선" 배철수의 음악캠프(2002년 11월방송) 라디오 프로그램에서 선정 한 것이다. 100위부터 1위까지 하나씩 올려봐야겠다. 또 올렸던 음악중 예전에 MBC 김기덕의 골든디스크에서 선정한 "한국인이 좋아하는 팝 100곡", 코리아팝 사이트에서 선정한 "한국인이 좋아하는 팝 200곡"을 올리고 있다. 이자료는 객관적인 자료가 아니고 라디오 프로그램과 선정 당시의 팬투표와 해당 방송국의 기준에따라 선정된걸로 알고있다.
