Working Man Blues

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

Yeah but I've been a working man dang near all my life

And I'll keep on working

Long as my two hands are fit to use

Drink my beer in a tavern

And then sing a little bit of these working man blues

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

Might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay

But I'll go back working

Come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew

Drink my beer in the tavern

And then sing a little bit of these working man blues

Well sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin' around

I want to throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town

But I'll go back working

I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes

Drink my beer in a tavern

And then sing a little bit of these working man blues
