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' long as these two
hands are fit to use I'll drink a little beer in a
tavern I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man
blues

I'll 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 evening I'll sing a
little bit of these workin' 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 workin' 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 back 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 workin' man
blues Well I'll drink my beer in a tavern I'll
sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
