Over deze songtekst:
John Brill schreef het lied in 1916. Melodie: What a friend we have in Jesus.
Het lied is gemaakt tijdens een van de stakingen van mijnwerkers die in de steenkoolmijnen werkten vanwege de slechte werkomstandigheden en het lage loon.
In die tijd zijn er nog veel meer songs gemaakt over dit onderwerp en vaak op bekende melodieen gezet.
Are you poor, forlorn and hungry? Are there lots of things you lack? Is your life made up of misery? Then dump the bosses off your back Are your clothes all patched and tattered? Are you living in a shack? Would you have your troubles scattered? Then dump the bosses off your back Are you almost split asunder? Loaded like a long-eared jack? Boob - why don't you buck like thunder And dump the bosses off your back? All the agonies you suffer You can end with one good whack Stiffen up, you orn'ry duffer And dump the bosses off your back
