16 Toneladas

People say I'm made of clay
Of muscle, blood, and bone I am
That's why the day I entered the mine
I extracted 16 tons of coal

With 16 tons, what was the use
The store deducted my credit
Saint Peter, don't call me, close your gate
For my soul has already been taken by the boss

Born lucky, I'm a man of action
With women, I'm a punisher
For blows, I'm a fierce lion
But fiercer to extract coal

With 16 tons, what was the use
The store deducted my credit
Saint Peter, don't call me, close your gate
For my soul has already been taken by the boss

Born lucky, I'm a man of action
With women, I'm a punisher
Only one dark-skinned woman plucked me
Sent me to the pawnshop and to extract coal

With 16 tons, what was the use
The store deducted my credit
Saint Peter, don't call me, close your gate
For my soul has already been taken by the boss

Don't look at me badly if you see me coming
Those who saw me wanted to die
With this body, I sent them to the cemetery
For looking so ugly at the one who extracted coal

With 16 tons, what was the use
The store deducted my credit
Saint Peter, don't call me, close your gate
For my soul has already been taken by the boss
