It's a big job just gettin' by with

Nine kids and a wife

I been a workin' man dang

Near all my life

I'll be on working

Long as my

Two hands are fit to use

I'll drink my beer in a tavern

I 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 workin'

Come Monday morning

I'm right back with the crew

I'll drink a my beer that evening

I little bit of these working man blues

Hey comes the working man

I ain't

Hey hey the working man

Working man like me

I ain't never been on welfare

That's one place I won't be

I'll be 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

Hey hey working man

The working man like me

I ain't never been on welfare

That's one place I won't be

Sometimes I think about leaving

I do a little bummin around

I wanna throw my bills out the window

Catch a train to another town

But I go back working

Come Monday morning

I'm right back with the crew

I'll drink my beer that evening

Of these working man blues

Yes I'm right working man
