capo 4 — sounds 4 semitones higherVerse 1
It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
But, I been a workin' man dang near all my life
And I'll keep on workin’ long as my two hands are fit to use
I drink my beer at a tavern
And sing a little bit of these workin’ man blues
Verse 2
I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day
I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
Gotta' go back workin, come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
I drink a little beer that evening
Sing a little bit of these workin’ man blues
Verse 3
Sometimes I think about leaving', do a little bummin' around
I wanna throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town
I'll go back workin', I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I drink a little beer in a tavern
Cry a little bit of these workin’ man blues
Here comes that workin' man
Verse 4
Well hey, hey, the workin' man, workin' man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, and that's one place I won't be
'Cause I'll keep workin', long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer at a tavern
Sing a little bit of these workin’ man blues
This song's for the workin' man
