You can wash my pair of dirty overalls. I'll ride that train you call cannonball, From baltimore to the bristol bay. I worked six months of ------------- And all i got is these dirty overalls. Ain't got a dime, ain't that a shame? I worked six months of dynamitin' coal, All i've got is these dirty overalls. And dirty shame, no whose to blame? Good gal, listen. please don't turn away. I'll have a car and soon a home someday. My money baby, and these overalls. Honey, gal, sweetheart, i do the best i can, I'm just a poor boy & a hard workin' man. My money's gone when i get done. If you leave me, i'll be so sad & blue, What is there for the workin' man to do? These overalls are killin' me. I seen a rich man driving in his car, He had a woman for every senator. And a good warm bed & a bottle of gin. I work like a dog, i'm broke all the time. Couldn't buy a woman or a bottle of wine? When i get out of these overalls. Rich man took my woman, woman away from me. He'll be sorry, sorry wait & see. When i get out of these overalls. Cops ought to put that money man in jail, He stole my one money and took away my gal. Now whose gonna wash my overalls.
