Some people say a man is made out of mud
有人說這個男人是個沒用的東西
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
有血有肉但是個窮光蛋
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
血肉之軀但骨瘦如柴
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
思想軟弱但臂膀堅強
You load sixteen tons, whattaya get?
拖運了十六噸煤，你掙得了什麼？
Another day older and deeper in debt
又一天的衰老和更深重的債務

St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go
聖人彼得不用叫我，因為我不能走
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
我在黎明之前醒來
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
我拿起鐵鏟走向煤礦
I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal

And the straw boss said,
然後工頭說
"Well bless my soul!"
我的天吶

A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
許多傢伙沒讓開，結果都玩完
One fist of iron, the other of steel
我給了他們一鐵拳接著另一拳
If the right one don't getcha then the left one will
