Working Man Blues

It's a big job just gettin' by

With nine kids and a wife

But I've been a workin' man

Dang near all of my life

I'll keep on workin'

As long as my two hands are fit to use

I'll drink my beer in a tavern

I'll sing a little bit of these working man blues

I keep my nose to the grindstone

Work hard everyday

I might get a little tired on the weekend

After I draw my pay

I'll go back workin', come Monday mornin'

I'm right back with the crew

I'll drink a little beer that evenin'

I'll sing a little bit of these working man blues

Sometimes I think about leavin'

Do a little bummin' around

I wanna throw my bills out the window

Catch a train to another town

I go back workin', gotta buy my kids

A brand new pair of shoes

I'll drink a little beer in a tavern

I'll cry a little bit of these working man blues

Well, hey, hey, workin' man

Workin' man like me

I ain't never been on welfare

That's one place I won't be

I'll be workin'

As long as my two hands are fit to use

I'll drink my beer in a tavern

I'll sing a little bit of these working man blues

Well, I'll drink my beer in a tavern

I'll sing a little bit of these working man blues
