Lyrics
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
