bob tailed check - tom flannery lyrics

i slave all day in the dusty darkfor my living i risk my
neck
and at the end of the month all you got for me
is a god d-mn bob tailed check
i mined 49 tons at 71 and a half
for 35 dollars and change
but them deductions add up to more than that
and a working man finds that strange
the supplies i need to do my job
break my back like no load of coal can
and my drill needs fixing before it’s used

and you call me a careless man
six dollars to pay for this drafty old shack
that you boys oversee
and if the god d-mned dump burned to the ground
it wouldn’t look no worse to me
got 2 kids at home expecting food from me
and that they’re still growing is true
but when i see a grocery bill looking like this
i believe my fathering days are through
so all you eager men heading down down down
you better heed what i say
if you find what you need you best take it with you
’cause they ain’t giving nothing away

- tom flannery lyrics
