Ce morceau se réfère à la chanson "16 Tons" de Merle Travis.
This song refers to Merle Travis' 16 Tons.
16 tons
was the name of the song
you used to sing at the time
when going down the mine
down, down the mine
16 tons
was a heavy load
a lot of hard coal
breaking your backbone
down, down the mine...
16 tons
was the name of the song
the symbol of your hard times
when you were down the mine
down, down the mine
.................................
But today when you see
the big wheel at a standstill
with nobody around the pit
you say 16 tons
was not so heavy a load
and you regret the "good old bad time"
when you were down the mine
down, down the mine
(Bluesnik 93)
