We always do two or three for the working man.
This is really the working [Db] man [Ab] song, one called the Working Man Blues.
.
It's a big job getting by with nine kids and a wife.
Yeah, but [Db] I've been a [Ab] working man, ain't never all my life, and I keep [Db] on working.
.
Long as my two hands are [Ab] bit used.
.
[Eb] I drink a little beer that evening, [Db] sing a little [Abm] bit of this working man [Db] blues.
[Ab] .
Well I [Db] keep my nose on the [Ab] grindstone, work [Db] hard every day.
[Ab] I might get a little tired on the weekend.
After I draw the pay, but I go back [Db] working.
.
Come Monday morning, I'm right back with the [Ab] crew.
.
[Eb] I drink a little beer that evening, [Db] sing a little bit of this working [Ab] man blues.
[Db] Sometime I think [Db] about [Ab] leaving, do a little bumming around.
Throw my lil's out the window, catch a mid train to another town, but I go [Db] back to work.
I gotta find my kids a brand new [Ab] pair of [Db] shoes.
[Ab] [Db] [Eb] I drink a little beer that evening, [Db] sing a little bit of this [B] working [Ab] man blues.

[Ab] He ain't never been on welfare, one place he won't be, he'd [Db] be working.
Long as his two hands are bit [Ab] used.
He [Eb] might drink a little beer that evening, [Db] sing a little bit of this [Abm] working man blues.
