Spanish Boots

(álbum: Beck-Ola - 1969)

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 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.

Put on my boots and said: 'So long'
High Spanish boots
Yeah.
