Workin' Man Blues Lyrics - Okie From Muskogee - 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 in a tavern 

Sing a little bit of these working man blues 

 

Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin' around 

I want to 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
