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.
It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
But I've been a workin' man dang near all of my life
And I'll keep on workin' long as my two hands're fit to use
Hmm I'll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
I'll keep my nose on the grindstone work hard everyday
I might get a little tired on Friday after I draw my pay
But I'll go back workin' come Monday mornin' I'm right back with the crew
Yeah I'll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
Sometimes I think about leaving do a little bummin' around
I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
But I go back workin' gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
Have a little fun on the weekend cry a little bit of these workin' man blues
(Here comes that guitar pickin' workin' man)
[ guitar ]
Well hey hey workin' man workin' man like me
I ain't never been on welfare and that's one place I won't be
I'll be workin' long as my two hands are fit to use
Hmm I'll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
(This song's for the workin' man)
