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
