Workin' Man Blues Lyrics - Warner Mack

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

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

And I'll keep on workin' long as my two hands're fit to use 

Hmm I'll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin' man blues 

I'll keep my nose on the grindstone work hard everyday 

I might get a little tired on Friday after I draw my pay 

But I'll go back workin' come Monday mornin' I'm right back with the crew 

Yeah I'll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin' 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 workin' gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes 

Have a little fun on the weekend cry a little bit of these workin' man blues 

(Here comes that guitar pickin' workin' man) 

[ guitar ] 

Well hey hey workin' man workin' man like me 

I ain't never been on welfare and that's one place I won't be 

I'll be workin' long as my two hands are fit to use 

Hmm I'll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin' man blues 

(This song's for the workin' man)
