Lyrics for Walking Boss

Walkin' boss Walkin' boss Yes you're the boss But I don't belong to you. I belong Yes, I belong And I can get along With that steel drivin' crew When I asked that boss man for a job I said I wanna job He said "Son, what can you do?" I can line track I can line up track And I can pull a jack I can pick and shovel too. (vs 1&2) I work one day one hard day And draw no pay And just lay around the shanty too (vs 1&2)
