VERSE 2:
I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard everyday.
I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my par.
I go back working, come Monday moring I'm right back with the crew.
And I drink a little beer that evening,
Sing a little bit of these Working Man Blues.

VERSE 3:
Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bumming around.
I want to throw my bills out the window, catch a train to anothertown,
I'll go back working, 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.

VERSE 4:
Well, Hey! Hey! The working man, the working man like me
I ain't never been on wwelfare, that's one place I won't be.
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.

Lead Riff 2: (a little bit different after last verse)
