it s a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife but i ve been a working man dang near all my life and i ll keep on working as 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 ll 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 to working come monday morning i m right back with the crew i ll drink a little beer that evening sing a little bit of these working man blues sometimes i think about leaving do a little bummin around i want to throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town but i ll go back working i gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes i ll 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 the working man like me i ain t never been on welfare and that s one place i won t be cause i ll be working as 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  this song s for the working man2
