(Merle Haggard) It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife But I've been a workin' man dang near all of my life I'll keep on workin' long as these two hands are fit to use I'll drink a little beer in a tavern I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues. I'll keep my nose to the grindstone work hard everyday I might get a little tired on the weekend after I draw my pay I'll go back workin' come Monday mornin' I'm right back with the crew I'll drink a little beer that evening I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues. Sometimes I think about leavin' do a little bummin' around I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town I go back workin' gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes I'll drink a little beer in a tavern I'll cry a little bit of these workin' man blues. --- Instrumental --- Well, hey, hey, workin' man workin' man like me I ain't never been on welfare that's one place I won't be I'll be back workin' as long as my two hands are fit to use I'll drink my beer in a tavern I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues Well, I'll drink my beer in a tavern I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues... |
