Bonediggin' Lyrics - Specials

I'm putting away my working clothes for the weekend 

I ain't gonna do that job no more 

I'm tired of being used and mistreated 

So tired of feeling walked on like a floor 

[Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough] 

This time I think I'm going to lose my mind 

Can't take it, take it, take it no more 

I've only got the one life to live 

But the time, oh, it seems so short 

So short, yeah 

[Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough] 

I'm working in the church yard every morning 

Yeah, bonediggin' will be the death of me 

In the red hot sun and the rain and hailstones 

I'm just diggin' [diggin', diggin'], yeah, diggin 'to be free 

[Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough] 

This time I think I'm going to lose my mind 

Can't take it, take it, take it no more 

I've only got the one life to live 

But the time, oh, it seems so short 

So short, yeah 

[Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough] 

You say I'm not worth my meager wages 

You put me down and treat me like a dog 

Some day soon this poor boy will get even, yeah 

Some day soon Mr. Bossman you have to pay 

[Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough] 

This time I think I'm going to lose my mind 

Can't take it, take it, take it no more 

I've only got the one life to live 

But the time, oh, it seems so short 

So short, yeah 

I'm putting away my working clothes for the weekend 

[Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough]
