Lyrics
i dedicate this song
to the workin' man
for every man
that puts in
eight or ten
hard hours a day
of workin' tall
in sweat
he's always got
somebody lookin'
down his neck
tryin' to get
more out of him
than he
really oughta
have to put in
after twenty-nine
long years
of workin' in this shop
with oney
standin' over me
today
when that ol'
whistle blows
i'll check in
all my gear
and i'll retire
the superintendent
just dropped by
and said they'd plan
my little
get-together
then he said i'd
never made it
if old oney
hadn't a-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
ha ha ha ha
i've been workin'
buildin' muscles
oney's just been
standin' 'round
a-gettin' soft
and today
about four-thirty
i'll make up
for every
good night's sleep
i've lost
when i'm gone
i'll be
remembered as
a workin' man
that put his
point across
with a right hand
full of knuckles
'cause today
i show old oney
who's the boss
mm what time is it
four-thirty
hey oney oney
ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha
