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
Allemande the corner girl do a Dosido
Allemande your corner and Weave the Ring
And I'll be working long as these two hands are fit to use
I drink a little beer in a tavern and
Sing a little bit of these working man blues

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 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
Yeah drink a little beer in a tavern,
Cry 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
Yeah drink a little beer in a tavern,
Cry a little bit of these working man blues
