Workin' Man Blues

It's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife
Jerry Lee's been a workin' man dang near all his life
And I'll keep working long as these two hands are fit to use, yeah
I'll drink my beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of them working man blues, yeah

Well, I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day
I might get a little drunk on the weekend after I draw my pay
I'll go back working, yeah, as long as these two hands are fit to use (a lot of job)
I'll drink my whiskey at evening
Sing a little bit of them working man blues
Play a little last of Mama Liquor now

Get down and loose, yeah
And lose all that boogie boogie

Sometimes I think about leaving, I do a little bumming around
I wanna throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town
I go back working, I gotta buy my kids a brand-new pair of shoes
And I drink my whiskey in a tavern
Cry a little bit of them a working man blues

Hey, hey! Play up on this song
I drink a little beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of them a working man blues
Let it out Shawn, do the boogie

Yeah, drink my beer in a tavern
Cry a little bit of them a working man blues
I'm getting hot now, the song is over but I'm running out of time
Let it out
