BmYo soy un pobre paria, minero soy
Con mi azadón y mi pala nací
Y un día gris sin auEmrora y sin sol
Dispuesto a luchar a la Bmmina fui
Cargar sixteen tons y descargar
Es tu misión viejo hay que aguantar
Tu recompensa, pobre John, la Emtendrás
Cuando echo polvo descansarás Bmya
Ya desde que apunta el sol me debo al control
Y soy para el capataz un número más
Mi nombre es inquietud y preEmocupación
Pero suelen llamarme polea BmJohn
Cargar sixteen tons y descargar
Es tu misión viejo hay que aguantar
Tu recompensa, pobre John, la tendEmrás
Cuando echo polvo descansarás Bmya
Fue tu vida negra y dura pobre John
Tal vez dirán los que verán
Mi funeral, y el jefe diEmrá
Fue un valiente corazón luchando hasta Bmel final
Cargar sixteen tons y descargar
Es tu misión viejo hay que aguantar
Tu recompensa, pobre John, la tenEmdrás
Cuando echo polvo descansarás Bmya
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the Emother of steel
If the right one don't a-get you
Then the left one Bmwill
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause EmI can't go
I owe my soul to the company sBmtore
Well the EmLord, Well the Bmlord

Yo soy un pobre paria, minero soy

Con mi azadón y mi pala nací

Y un día gris sin aurora y sin sol

Dispuesto a luchar a la mina fui

Cargar sixteen tons y descargar

Es tu misión viejo hay que aguantar

Tu recompensa, pobre John, la tendrás

Cuando echo polvo descansarás ya

Ya desde que apunta el sol me debo al control

Y soy para el capataz un número más

Mi nombre es inquietud y preocupación

Pero suelen llamarme polea John

Fue un valiente corazón luchando hasta el final

A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died

One fist of iron, the other of steel

If the right one don't a-get you

Then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

Well the Lord, Well the lord
