Working Man Lyrics - Manny Charlton

All of his life he's been a working man 

Up every morning in the dark and rain 

Every Friday night he gets his take home pay 

And he hands it all over and he don't complain 

All of his life he's been a working man 

He never pushed paper but he used his hands 

And all that he was his father's way 

So he'll walk in his footsteps to his dying day 

Put your hands together for the working man 

Puts food on the table for his wife and weans 

My daddy spent his life as a working man 

And he worked for a year for his week in Spain 

All of his life he's been a working man 

Up every morning in the dark and rain 

Every Friday night he gets his take home pay 

And he hands it all over and he don't complain 

All of his life he's been a working man 

He never pushed paper but he used his hands 

And all that he was his father's way 

So he'll walk in his footsteps to his dying day 

Put your hands together for the working man 

Puts food on the table for his wife and weans 

My daddy spent his life as a working man 

And he worked for a year for his week in Spain
