Workin' Man Songtext
von Jacob Powell

It′s a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
Ive been a workin′ man damned near all my life
I'll keep working just as long as my two hands are fit to use
Well i might drink a little beer in the evening
Sing a little bit of these working man blues

Well I keep my nose to the grindstone, I work hard every day
I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
But I'll go back workin, yea Monday morning I′m right back with my crew yes i am
Well I might drink a little beer come sundown
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Aw little guitar


Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin around
Im gonna throw my bills out the window catch a train going to another town
But I′ll be workin, yea Monday morning I'm right back with my crew yes i am
Well I might drink too much come sundowm
Sing a little bit of these working man blues

Well Hey hey, the working man, is a working man like me
I aint never been on welfare, that′s one place I won't be
Brotha I′ll be working i gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
Well I might drink to much in the evening
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Yeah i might smoke to much come sundown
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
