Working Man Blues - Merle Haggard

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

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 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

Yeah drink a little beer that evening,

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 that evening

Sing a little bit of these working man blues

Yeah drink a little beer that evening,

Cry a little bit of these working man blues
