Boss Man Lyrics

Boss Man lyrics

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'
