Workin’ Man Blues

It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
I've been a workin' man damned near all my life
I'll keep workin' just as long as my two hands are fit to use
Well I might drink a little beer in the evenin'
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues

Well I keep my nose to the grindstone, I work hard every day
I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
But I'll go back workin', yeah Monday mornin' I'm right back with my crew
Yes I am
Well I might drink a little beer come sundown
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
Aw little guitar

Sometimes I think about leavin', do a little bummin' around
I'm gonna throw my bills out the window catch a train goin' to another town
But I'll be workin', yeah Monday mornin' I'm right back with my crew Yes I am
Well I might drink too much come sundowm
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues

Well Hey hey, the workin' man, is a workin' man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
Brotha I'll be workin', I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
Well I might drink too much in the evenin'
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
Yeah I might smoke to much come sundown
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
