Do we have any of those type of people here with us tonight?
Huh?
Thank you.

One call to working man blues.
Go like this right here.
♪♪
It's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife
Yeah, but I've been a working man
I've been a dangler all my life and I'll keep on working
As long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern
And sing a little bit of this working man blues
I'll keep my nose on the grindstone
And work hard every day
I might get a little tired on the weekend
After I draw my pay but I'll go back working
On Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern
And sing a little bit of this working man blues
Well, hey, hey, the working man, the working man like me
I ain't never been on welfare
And one place I won't be but I'll be working
As long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern
And cry a little bit of this working man blues
Here come a working man right now
♪
Sometimes I think about leaving
Do a little bumming 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 parachute
Lord, Lord
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern
And cry a little bit of this working man blues
This song goes out especially for all the working men
