On The Bus by Zoli Althea Browne Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2019

On the bus on the way to the job
Going to sit like a lady because I work like a dog
Got a two hour ride to work 10 hours more
Then it's back on the bus and it’s a quarter to four
Ada she's got her church dress on hat and purse and shoes
She's dressed in all the colors of Gods good Earth
But inside she’s singing the blues
Mabel steps onto the bus
It's Friday afternoon
Boss lady kept her late that day
Just to polish your silver spoons
On the bus on the way to the job
Wanna to sit like a lady ‘cause I'll work like a dog
A two hour ride it, leaves me 10 hours or more
To ride it home just like I done it before
Clarance, Walter, Bobby and Joe
All gathered round God's good book
They're sitting in the front road now
‘cause whitey, he don't dare look
On the bus going home from the job
I want to sit like a man ‘cause I worked like a dog
‘Gotta ride this bus nearly every day
40 miles to work for $20 of pay
On the bus on the way to the job
‘Gonna sing hallelujah when the riding is done
I worked 22 years for pitiful pay
Now I'll ride up to heaven and I'll be on my way
