Working Man's Blues (Live)

Working Man's Blues (Live) - Jorma Kaukonen

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 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

I work hard every day

Might get a little tired on the weekend

When I draw my pay

Go back workin'

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

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

Cause I'll be working long as

My two hands are fit to use

I drink a little beer in a tavern

Sing a little bit of these working man blues

Sometimes I think about leaving alone

Do a little bummin' around

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

Yeah drink a little beer in a tavern

Cry a little bit of these working man blues

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

Cause I'll be working long as

My two hands are fit to use

Drink a little beer in a tavern

Sing a little bit of these working man blues

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

Cause I'll be working

Long as my two hands are fit to use

Drink a little beer in a tavern

Sing a little bit of these working man blues

Yeah drink a little beer in a tavern

Cry a little bit of these working man blues
