I used to work and take a salary
In a hole up near a factory
But it did not take me too long
To lace up my boots and say "So long"
Long spanish boots on a "So long!"

I took a day job in Bethlehem
I nearly threw in the towel then
But it did not take me too long
To lace up my boots and say "So long"
I raised high spanish boots on a "So long!"
I took a spanish haberdashery
Restored with 15th century tapestry
Oh, Mr. Nesbitt got the best of me
So I strapped on my boots and said "So long!"
Laced up my high boots and "So long!" yeeaaahh!
