[Verse 1]
I used to work and take a salary
In a hole up near a foundry
But it did not take me too long
To get my boots on a "So long!"
Long Spanish boots on a "So long!"

[Verse 2]
I took a day job in Bethlehem
I nearly threw in the towel then
But it did not take me too long
To get my boots on a "So long!"
High Spanish boots on a "So long!"
Dig it

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I took a Spanish haberdashery
Restored with 15th-century tapestry
But 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!"

[Instrumental Break]
Goodbye
[Verse 4]
Am on a job you see
'Cause my old boots they mean too much to me
Leather boots are just a mystery
Put on my boots and said "So long!"
High Spanish boots on and "So long!"
Put on my boots and said "So long!"
Those old Spanish boots

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Put on my boots and said "So long!"
High Spanish boots
Yeah
