Working Man Blues

de Merle Haggard

It's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife
I been a working 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 working 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 bumming 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
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
I 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
