Lyrics
Workingman blues
verse
When I get up in the morning off to make my daily bread
Sometime I wonder shoulda stayed right in my bed
Like everybody else who got no right to choose
I got them low oh oh oh workin man blues workin man blues
verse
To many long hours to many days a week
When I get home mama im just to tired to speak
Well I gotta keep on pushin I got to much to lose
I got them low oh oh oh workin man blues workin man blues
Bridge
How did this happen how did I dig this hole so deep
Fill it up with nothing but my soul to keep
Solo
verse
I got just one question how long will I last (ah how long will it last)
If you never know the answer well you never shoulda asked
Well I gotta keep on workin and payin my dues
I got them low oh oh oh workin man blues workin man blues
Hidy hidy ho off to work I go (repeat with other funky fun til end)
