Workin' Man Blues - Remastered

It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
But I've been a workin' man, dang near all my life
And I'll keep on working, long as my two hands are fit to use

I'll drink my beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these working man blues

I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day
I might get a little 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 drank a little beer that evening
Sang a little bit of these working man blues

Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bumming around
I wanna throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town
I'll go back working, I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes

I drink a little beer in a tavern
Cry a little bit of these working man blues

Here comes that working man

Well hey, hey, the working man, working man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use

I'll drink a little beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
This song is for the workin' man
