Version 1 Version 2
            [Verse 1]
E
It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife

But, I been a workin' man dang near all my life
                 A                                       E
And I'll keep on workin’ long as my two hands are fit to use
  B
I drink my beer at a tavern
    A                                      E
And sing a little bit of these workin’ man blues

[Verse 2]
E
I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day

I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
               A                                                   E
Gotta' go back workin, come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
  B
I drink a little beer that evening
 A                                     E
Sing a little bit of these workin’ man blues

[Verse 3]
E
Sometimes I think about leaving', do a little bummin' around

I wanna throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town
             A                                              E
I'll go back workin', I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
  B
I drink a little beer in a tavern
A                                     E
Cry a little bit of these workin’ man blues

Here comes that workin' man

[Instrumental Verse]

[Verse 4]
E
Well hey, hey, the workin' man, workin' man like me

I ain't never been on welfare, and that's one place I won't be
                 A                                        E
'Cause I'll keep workin', long as my two hands are fit to use
     B
I'll drink my beer at a tavern
A                                      E
Sing a little bit of these workin’ man blues

This song's for the workin' man
