Working Man Blues Songtext / Lyric

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
