Workin' Man Blues

It's a big job gettin' by with nine kids and a wife

You know I've been a workin' man dang near all my life

I'll keep on working long as my two hands are fit to use

I drink my beer at a tavern and sing a little bit of these working man blues

I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day

Get tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay

[01:13.21]But I go back workin',

come on Monday mornin',

I'm right back with the crew

I drink a little beer that evening, sing a little bit of these working man blues

Sometimes

I think about leavin', do a little bummin' around

Throw my bills out the window, catch me a train to another town

I got to buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes

I drink my beer at a tavern and cry a little bit of these workin' man blues

Here comin', workin' man

Well, hey, hey, the working man, the working man like me

I Never been on welfare and that's one place he will not be

He'd be workin' just as long as his two hands are fit to use

Might drink a little beer at a tavern sing a little bit of them workin' man blues

This song for the working man
