Chorus:

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.

chorus (vs 1&2)

I work one day
One hard day
And draw no pay
And just lay around the shanty too

chorus (vs 1&2)
