[00:11.15]Boss man boss man what do you say
[00:13.40]I gotta get you alone in the mine some day
[00:16.23]Boss man boss man turn it around
[00:18.49]If you don't look away how can I sit down
[00:21.33]Look at this load upon my back
[00:23.59]Gotta get this wheel back on the track
[00:26.33]I can't hold on but I can't let go
[00:28.61]And I can't say yes I can't say no
[00:32.71]Holes in my pockets and holes in my shoes
[00:35.29]If you're ready for me I'ma ready for you
[00:37.58]The company plan takes all my pay
[00:40.04]Got a child in July and another last May
[00:42.59]Boss man boss man what do you say
[00:44.96]Gotta get you alone in the mine some day
[00:47.69]Push your face down in the coal
[00:50.26]'Cause you got no heart you got no soul
[00:54.46]Country life's the life for me
[00:56.59]In ten more years I'll a pensioner be
[00:59.10]The young-a lad knows when the girls are out
[01:01.65]Why you might say he's a rural sprout
[01:04.34]Boss man boss man what do you say
[01:06.60]Gotta get you alone in the mine some day
[01:09.22]Boss man boss man clear the track

[01:23.55]If you can't lend a hand then get outta my way
[01:26.32]It'll be murder in the first degree
[01:28.61]If you ever lay your hands on me
[01:31.35]Boss man boss man pay my rent
[01:33.71]'Cause a dollar I've earned is a dollar I've spent
[01:36.37]The company plan takes all my check
[01:38.83]For breaking my back and risking my neck
[01:43.05]Boss man boss man what do you say
[01:45.19]I gotta get you alone in the mine some day
