Working Man

Fifteen hours in the shop today

Putting in time, honey, making my pay

When I get home, baby, and my bones are tired

I just want to sip my drink by the fire

Cold steel showers at the thompson mill

It's long hard hours making that thomspon steel

If I had my way I might be next to you

But there's certain things a man's gotta do

Baby, what you got to understand

I'm nothing if I ain't a working man

Baby, what you got to understand

I'm nothing if I ain't a working man

I know it's hard to take it sitting down

And harder still without your man around

But what I'm doing here, I do for you

To give you everything you need, cos you know it's true

Punch my card in the morning light

Once again in the dark, dark night

And all I can stand of this working life

Is a working man needs a loving wife

Baby, what you got to understand

I'm nothing if I ain't a workin man

Baby, what you got to understand

I'm nothing if I ain't a workin man
