Woody Guthrie - Dirty Overalls Lyrics

Lyrics Dirty Overalls - Woody Guthrie




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.
