Karaoké Working Man Blues Merle Haggard

It's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife

But I've been a working man dang near all my life

And I'll keep on 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 work hard every day

I 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

I drink a little beer in a tavern

Cry a little bit of these working man blues

Here comes that working man

Well 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

'Cos I'll be working as 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

Ah, this song for the working man
