Merle Haggard - Workin' Man Blues Lyrics
It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wifeI been a workin' man dang near all my lifeI'll be working long as my two hands are fit to useI'll drink my beer in a tavern,Sing a little bit of these working man bluesI keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every dayMight get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my payBut I'll go back workin, come Monday morning I'm right back with the crewI'll drink a little beer that evening,Sing a little bit of these working man bluesHey hey, the working man, the working man like meI ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't beCause I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to useI drink a little beer in a tavernSing a little bit of these working man bluesSometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin aroundI wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another townBut I go back working I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoesYeah drink a little beer in a tavern,Cry a little bit of these working man bluesHey hey, the working man, the working man like meI ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't beCause I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to useI drink a little beer in a tavernSing a little bit of these working man bluesYeah drink a little beer in a tavern,Cry a little bit of these working man blues
