Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
You can wash my pair of dirty overhalls I’ll ride that train that called the cannonball
From Baltimore to Frisco bay
I worked six months in lumbertown this fall
All I got left is these dirty overhalls ain’t got a dime ain’t that a shame
I worked six weeks dynamiting coal
All I got left is these dirty overhalls a dirty shame now who’s to blame

[Verse 2]
Good get a lesson please don’t turn away I’ll have a car and a suited clothes someday
Instead of dirty old overhalls
Honey gal sweetheart I do the best I can I’m just a poor boy a hard working man
My money's gone when I get done
If you leave me I’ll be so sad and blue what is there for a working man to do
These overhalls these overhalls

[Verse 3]
I’ve seen a sick man driving in his car
He had a women for every cylinder of his warm bed a bottle of gin
I work like a dog I’m broke all the time couldn’t buy a woman a two bit bottle of wine
These overhalls they smell so bad

[Verse 4]
Rich man took a woman away from me he’ll be sorry sorry wait and
see when I get out of these overhalls
The cop saw the crook that money man in jail
He stole my money and took away my gal now who’s gonna wash my overhalls
Who’s gonna wash my overhalls
