Born With The Blues - Merle Haggard
It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife But I've been workin' man, dang near all my life but I'll keep workin' 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 I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay Then I'll 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 Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin' around I want to throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town I'll go back working, I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes I drink a little beer in a tavern Cry a little bit of these working man blues, here comes that workin' man Well, hey, hey, the working man, the working man like me I ain't never been on welfare, 'n that's one place I won't be I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use I'll drink my little beer in a tavern Sing a little bit of these working man blues, this song for the workin' man
