Boss Man |
| 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' |
