. . . It's a big job

gettin' by with nine

kids and a wife

Yeah but I've been
hands are fit to use

I drink my beer

at a tavern

an' sing a little
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
I got to buy my kids

a brand new pair of shoes

I drink my beer

at a tavern
(12 Bar Instrumental Break)
. . . Well hey hey

the workin' man
the workin' man like me

Never been on welfare
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
