Working Man Blues

In the style of

Merle Haggard

Lyrics

it's a big job just getting by
with nine kids and a wife

but i've been a working man
dang near all my life

and i'll keep on working
long as my two hands

are fit to use

i'll drink my beer in a tavern
sing a little bit of these
working man blues

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

but i'll go back working
come monday morning

i'm right back with the crew

i'll drink a little beer
that evening

sing a little bit of these
working man blues

sometimes i think
about leaving

do a little bumming around

i wanna throw my bills
out the window

catch a train
to another town

but i go back working
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
working man blues

here comes that
working man

well hey, hey
the working man

the working man like me

i ain't never been on welfare

that's one place i won't be

'cos i'll be working
as long as my two hands

are fit to use

i'll drink my beer in a tavern
sing a little bit of these

working man blues

ah, this song for

the working man
