Lyrics and Chords

[1m] Walkin' boss
Walkin' [^b7] boss
Walkin' boss
I don't belong to [1m] you

I belong
I belong
I belong
To that steel driving crew

Well you work one day
Work one day
Work one day
Then go lay around the shanty too

Well I asked that boss
For a job
For a job
He said son what can you do

I can line the jack
Drive a track
Drive a track
I can pick and shovel too

Well you work one day
Work one day
Work one day
Then go lay around the shanty too
