Boss man boss man what do ya say |
|
I gotta get you alone in the mine some day |
|
Boss man boss man turn it around |
|
If you don't look away how can i sit down |
|
Look at this load upon my back |
|
Gotta get this wheel back on the track |
|
I can't hold on but i can't let go |
|
And i can't say yes i can't say 'no' |
|
Holes in my pockets and holes in my shoes |
|
If you're ready for me i'm ready for you |
|
The company plan takes all my pay |
|
Got a child in july and another last may |
|
Boss man boss man what do ya say |
|
Gonna get you alone in the mine some day |
|
Push your face down in the coal |
|
'cause you got no heart you got no soul |
|
Country life's the life for me |
|
In ten more years i'll a pensioner be |
|
The younger lad knows when the girls are out |
|
But you might say he's a rural sprout |
|
Boss man boss man what do ya say |
|
Gonna get you alone in the mine some day |
|
Boss man boss man clear the track |
|
You're gonna tear the skin right offa my back |
|
Boss man, boss man what do ya say |
|
If you can't lend a hand then get outta my way |
|
It'll be murder in the first degree |
|
If you ever lay your hands on me |
|
Boss man boss man pay my rent |
|
A dollar i've earned is a dollar i've spent |
|
The company plan takes all my check |
|
For breakin' my back and riskin' my neck |
|
Boss man boss man what do ya say |
|
I gotta get you alone in the mine some day |
|
I can't hold on but i can't let go |
|
And i can't say yes i can't say 'no' |
