It's a big job gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
Even I've been workin' man, dang near all my life but I'll keep workin'
As long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer in a tavern
And sing a little bit of these working man blues
Even I've been workin' man, dang near all my life but I'll keep workin'
As long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer in a tavern
And sing a little bit of these working man blues
But I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day
Get tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
But I'll go back workin', come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
I'll drink a little beer that evening
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Get tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
But I'll go back workin', come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
I'll drink a little beer that evening
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin' around
Throw my bills out the window, catch me a train to another town
But I go back working, I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I'll drink a little beer that evening
Cry a little bit of these working man blues, here comes workin' man
Throw my bills out the window, catch me a train to another town
But I go back working, I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I'll drink a little beer that evening
Cry a little bit of these working man blues, here comes workin' man
Well, hey, hey, the working man, the working man like me
Never been on welfare, and that's one place I will not be
Keep me working, you have long two hands are fit to use
My little beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these working man blues, this song for the workin' man
Never been on welfare, and that's one place I will not be
Keep me working, you have long two hands are fit to use
My little beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these working man blues, this song for the workin' man
This song is from the album "Introducing My Friends-The Strangers".
