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


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


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

Goodbye

I'm 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

Put on my boots and said so long

High spanish boots

Yeah
