Ballad of the Working Man

Hear the whistle blowin'

Another working day

Turn the wheels of power

Earn your daily pay

The blood and sweat of working men

Made this country great

To the kings and queens of industry

Your lives we celebrate

No matter where you're going

Remember where you've been

It takes me back to a simple life

I sing my song - the ballad of the working man

The rhythm of the engines

Pounding out a song

Pulling all together

To make this kingdom strong

To every man and woman

Standin' tall and proud

We dedicate this song to you

Rejoice and shout out loud

It's not so complicated

Remember where you're from

It takes me back to a simple life

I sing my song - the ballad of the working man

Working man

Another round of whiskey

Another shot of gin

The bar-maid rings 'last orders'

Get the last ones in

The place is full of laughter

The glasses full of beer

It takes me to a simple life

That's nearly disappeared

No matter where you're going

Remember where you've been

Take me back to a simple life

I sing my song - the ballad of the working man

The ballad of the working man

The ballad of the working man
