I'll drink my beer in a tavern, Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues. Verse 2 -------- 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, But I'll go back workin' Come Monday mornin' I'm right back with the crew. I'll drink a little beer that evening, Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues. Verse 3 -------- Sometimes I think about leavin', doing a little bummin' around, I wanna throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town, And I'll go back workin' Gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes. I drink a little beer in a tavern, Cry a little bit of these workin' man blues. Here comes that workin' man...

I'll drink my beer in a tavern, Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues. This songs for the workin' man...
