[Intro]
| A | - | - | - |
[Verse 1]
A
It's a big job gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
I've been workin' man,
D
dang near all my life but I'll keep on workin'
A
Long as my two hands are fit to use
E
I'll drink my beer in a tavern
D A
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
[Verse 2]
A
I keep my nose on the grindstone,
I work hard every day
Get tired on the weekend,
after I draw my pay
D
Then I'll go back workin',
A
come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
E
I'll drink a little beer that evening
D A
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
[Verse 3]
A
Sometimes I think about leaving,
do a little bummin' around
Throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
D
I'll go back working,
A
I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
E
I drink my beer in a tavern
D A
Cry a little bit of these working man blues

[Verse 4]
A
Well, hey, hey, the working man,
the working man like me
Never been on welfare,
'n that's one place I won't be
D A
I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my little beer in a tavern
E D A
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
