Working 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
