Sixteen Tons Cifra
por George Davis469 visualizações, adicionado aos favoritos 13 vezes
This song is generally attributed to merle travis, but George S. Davis, a folk singer and songwriter who had been a Kentucky coal miner, claimed on a 1966 recording for Folkways Records to have written the song as "Nine-to-ten tons" in the 1930s, he also at different times claimed to have written the song as "Twenty-One Tons". There is no supporting evidence for Davis's claim. Davis's 1966 recording of his version of the song (with some slightly different lyrics and tune, but titled "Sixteen Tons") appears on the albums George Davis: When Kentucky Had No Union Men and Classic Mountain Songs from Smithsonian.Essa informação foi útil?

[Chorus]
C G
I loaded sixteen tons now what do I get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't call me cause I can't go
C G C
I owe my soul to the company store
[Verse 1]
C G
I was born one mornin' was a drizzlin rain

A fussin' and fightin' ain't my middle name

Well they raised me in a corner by a mammy hound

I'm as mean as a dog but I'm as gentle as a lamb
