Workin' Man Blues

Well, it's a hard job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
 Well, I've been a workin' man da- near all my life
 But I keep on working
 Long as my two hands are fit to use
 Well, I drink my beer in the tavern
 And I sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
 Well, I keep my nose to the grindstone, work out every day
 I go out on the weekends, after I draw my pay
 But I keep on workin'
 Gonna buy my kid a brand new pair of shoes
 I might drink a little beer at evening
 And I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
 Sometimes I feel like leaving, let's do a little bummin' around
 I'll throw my bills out the window
 And catch me a train to another town
 And keep on working
 Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
 Well, I drink my beer at evening
 And I sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
 Hey hey, working man, working man like me
 I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
 'Cause I keep on working, long these two hands are fit to use
 Well I drink a beer at the tavern
 And I sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
