Working Man Blues Lyrics

Intro: A7 (8 bars)
It's a big job gettin' by with 9 kids and a wife
Yeah but I been a workin' man dang near all my life
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
Well I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day
Gettin?? tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
But I go back workin??,
Come Monday mornin?? I'm right back with the crew
I drink a little beer that evenin??,
sing a little bit of these workin?? man blues
Sometimes I think about leavin??, do a little bummin?? around
Throw my bills out the window catch me a train to another town
But I go back workin??
I got to buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I drink my beer at a tavern
And cry a little bit of these workin?? man blues
Here comes the workin?? man
Instrumental solo for one verse
Well hey hey, the workin?? man, the workin?? man like me
Never been on welfare, and that's one place he would not be
He??d be workin??
Just as long as his two hands are fit to use
Might drink a little beer at a tavern
Sing a little bit of them workin?? man blues
This song is for the workin?? man
