Workin' Man's Pay

I tell you, buddy, it ain't no fun

Workin' all day in the hot-hot sun

It don't seem right a man should work all day

In the hot-hot sun earnin' workin' man's pay

Workin' man's pay

Workin' man's pay

Swingin' that sledgehammer every day

A bottle of beer at the end of the day

And a naggin' woman

That's a workin' man's pay

I went to Hialeah with my pay in my hand

I bet all my money on an also-ran

Workin', workin' 'til you waste away

In the hot-hot sun

Earnin' workin' man's pay

Workin' man's pay

Workin' man's pay

Swingin' that sledgehammer every day

It don't seem right that a man should work this way

In the hot-hot sun earlin' workin' man's pay

I ain't got much, but I ain't no thief

And my old woman ain't long to leave

So while you hippies are pickin' flowers

Remember some jerks workin' workin' man's hours

I tell you, buddy, it ain't no fun

Workin' all day in the hot-hot sun

It don't seem right a man should work all day

In the hot-hot sun earnin' workin' man's pay

Workin' man's pay

Workin' man's pay

Swingin' that sledgehammer every day

A bottle of beer at the end of the day

And a naggin' woman

That's a workin' man's pay
