16 Toneladas

From the Laguna region
With rhythm and flair
Old bull
Yeah!!

People say I’m made of clay
Of darkness and blood, and I’m made of bone
That’s why the day I see her on the train
I pulled out 16 tons of coal

With 16 tons, what good did it do?
The store took my cut, they shorted me
Saint Peter, don’t call me, close your gate
'Cause my soul's already taken by the boss

With 16 tons, what good did it do?
The store took my cut, they shorted me
Saint Peter, don’t call me, close your gate
'Cause my soul's already taken by the boss

I was born lucky, I’m a man of action
With women, I’m a punisher
For the hits, I’m a fierce lion
But fiercer when it comes to pulling coal

With 16 tons, what good did it do?
The store took my cut, they shorted me
Saint Peter, don’t call me, close your gate
'Cause my soul's already taken by the boss

With 16 tons, what good did it do?
The store took my cut, they shorted me
Saint Peter, don’t call me, close your gate
'Cause my soul's already taken by the boss

I was born lucky, I’m a man of action
With women, I’m a punisher
Just one girl can bring me down
She sent me to pawn and to pull coal

With 16 tons, what good did it do?
The store took my cut, they shorted me
Saint Peter, don’t call me, close your gate
'Cause my soul's already taken by the boss

With 16 tons, what good did it do?
The store took my cut, they shorted me
Saint Peter, don’t call me, close your gate
'Cause my soul's already taken by the boss

Don’t look ugly if you see me coming
Those who saw me wanted to die
With this tale, I sent them to the graveyard
For seeing the ugly guy who pulled the coal

With 16 tons, what good did it do?
The store took my cut, they shorted me
Saint Peter, don’t call me, close your gate
'Cause my soul's already taken by the boss

With 16 tons, what good did it do?
The store took my cut, they shorted me
Saint Peter, don’t call me, close your gate
'Cause my soul's already taken by the boss
