Working Man Blues (Live)

Working Man Blues (Live) - Merle Haggard

It's a big job getting by

With nine kids and a wife

You know I've been a working 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

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 morning

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 leaving

Do a little bumming around

Throw my bills out the window

Catch me a train to another town

But I go back working

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 working 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' 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 that speil flowers

Working man never open
