[00:12.53]It's a big job gettin' by with
[00:15.12]Nine kids and a wife
[00:19.64]You know I've been a workin'
[00:21.39]Man dang near all my life
[00:23.61]I'll keep on working long as
[00:27.25]My two hands are fit to use
[00:33.31]I drink my beer at a tavern and sing
[00:35.97]A little bit of these working man blues
[00:42.53]Well I keep my nose on the grindstone
[00:44.93]Work hard every day
[00:47.70]Get tired on the weekend
[00:49.23]After I draw my pay
[00:50.96][01:18.46]But I go back workin'
[00:53.97]Come Monday mornin'
[00:54.94]I'm right back with the crew
[01:00.83]I drink a little beer that evening
[01:03.36]Sing a little bit of these working man blues
[01:09.89]Sometimes I think about leavin'
[01:12.50]Do a little bummin' around
[01:15.14]Throw my bills out the window
[01:16.44]Catch me a train to another town
[01:21.22]I got to buy my kids
[01:22.49]A brand new pair of shoes
[01:28.09]I drink my beer at a tavern and cry
[01:30.79]A little bit of these workin' man blues
[01:35.65]Here comin' workin' man
[02:04.19]Well hey hey the working man
[02:06.48]The working man like me
[02:09.38]Never been on welfare and
[02:10.87]That's one place he will not be
[02:12.79]he'd be workin' just as long
[02:16.10]As his two hands are fit to use
[02:22.38]Might drink a little beer at a tavern sing
[02:24.97]A little bit of them workin' man blues
[02:30.15]This song for the working man

It's a big job gettin' by with
Nine kids and a wife
You know I've been a workin'
Man dang near all my life
I'll keep on working long as
My two hands are fit to use
I drink my beer at a tavern and sing
A little bit of these working man blues
Well I keep my nose on the grindstone
Work hard every day
Get tired on the weekend
After I draw my pay
But I go back workin'
Come Monday mornin'
I'm right back with the crew
I drink a little beer that evening
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Sometimes I think about leavin'
Do a little bummin' around
Throw my bills out the window
Catch me a train to another town
I got to buy my kids
A brand new pair of shoes
I drink my beer at a tavern and cry
A little bit of these workin' man blues
Here comin' workin' man
Well hey hey the working man
The working man like me
Never been on welfare and
That's one place he will not be
he'd be workin' just as long
As 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 for the working man
