Workin' Man Blues

Workin' Man Blues - Parmalee

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

After I draw my pay

But I'll 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

Sometimes I think about leaving

Do a little bummin around

I wanna 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

Yes I do

Yeah drink a little beer in a tavern

Cry a little bit of these working man blues

Hey come back working man

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

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

These some follow working man
