Workin' Man Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well it's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
I've been a workin' man damn near all my life
And I keep workin'
Just as long as my two hands are fit to use
I drink my beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
I keep my nose on the grind stone
Work hard everyday
I get a little drunk on the weekend
After I draw my pay
Gotta go back workin'
Come Monday mornin' I'm right back with my crew
I'll drink a little beer that evening
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
Sometimes I think about leavin'
Do a little bummin' around
Gonna throw the bills out the window
Catch a train to another town
Gotta go back workin'
Gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I'll drink a little beer in the tavern
Try a little bit of these workin' man blues
I say hey, hey working man
A workin' man like me
I ain't never been on welfare
That's one place I won't be
Gotta keep on workin'
Just as long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer in the taverns
Cry a little bit of these workin' man blues
