Lyrics Oney - Single Version - Johnny Cash
I
dedicate
this
song
to
the
workin'
man
For
every
man
that
puts
in
eight
or
ten
hard
hours
a
day
Of
work
and
toil
and
sweat
Whose
always
got
somebody
lookin'
down
his
neck
Tryin'
to
get
more
out
of
him
than
he
really
ought
to
have
to
put
in
After
twenty-nine
long
years
of
workin'
In
this
shop
with
Oney
standin'
over
me
Today
when
that
old
whistle
blows
I'll
check
in
all
my
gear
and
I'll
retire
The
superintendent
just
dropped
by
and
said
They'd
planned
my
little
get
together
Then
he
said
I'd
never
a
made
it
If
old
Oney
hadn't
held
me
to
the
fire
I've
seen
him
in
my
dreams
at
night
And
woke
up
in
the
mornin'
feelin'
tired
And
old
Oney
don't
remember,
when
I
came
here
How
he
tried
to
get
me
fired
With
his
folded
hands
behind
him
Every
mornin',
Oney
waited
at
the
gate
Where
he'd
rant
and
rave
like
I
committed
murder
Clockin'
in
five
minutes
late
But
today,
they'll
gather
'round
me
Like
I've
seen
'em
do
when
any
man
retires
Then
old
Oney's
gonna
tell
me
From
now
on,
I'm
free
to
do
what
I
desire
He'll
present
me
with
that
little
old
gold
watch
They
give
a
man
at
times
like
this
But
there's
one
thing
he's
not
countin'
on
Today's
the
day,
I
give
old
Oney
his
I've
been
workin',
buildin'
muscles
Oney's
just
been
standin'
'round
a
gettin'
soft
And
today
about
4:30
I'll
make
up
for
every
good
night's
sleep
I've
lost
When
I'm
gone,
I'll
be
remembered
As
the
workin'
man
that
put
his
point
across
With
a
right
hand
full
of
knuckles
'Cause
today,
I
show
old
Oney
who's
the
boss
Hmm,
what
time
is
it?
4:30?
Hey,
Oney!
Oney!
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
