Working Man's Blues (Live) - Jorma Kaukonen
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
When I draw my pay
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
Well 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 alone
Do a little bummin' around
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
Drink a little beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Well 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
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
