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

I’ve been a working man dang near all my life

I'll be working

As long as these two hands are fit to use

I'll drink a little beer at a tavern

And I’ll cry some of these working man blues

I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day

Might get a little tired on the weekends

right after I draw my pay

I'll be working

Come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew

I'll drink a little beer in the evening

And I'll cry some of these working man blues

I said hey hey, thе working man, the working man like me

I ain't nеver been on welfare

and that's one place I won't be

I’ll be working

Gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes

And I’ll drink a little beer in the evening

And I'll cry some of these working man blues
