Lyrics

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
