Merle Haggard — Workin Man Blues/Always Late With Your Kisses

It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife But I been a workin' man dang near all my life I'll be working 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 But 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 wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town But I go back working I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes Yeah I drink a little beer in a tavern Cry a little bit of these working man blues Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be 'Cause I'll be working 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 Always late with your kisses Won't you come to my arms, sweet darlin', and stay Always late with your kisses Why, oh why do you want to do me this way? How long do you think I can wait When you know you're always late Always late with your kisses Why, oh why do you want to do me this way? Always late with your kisses Won't you come to my arms, sweet darlin', and stay Always late with your kisses Why, oh why do you want to do me this way? How long do you think I can wait When you know you're always late Always late with your kisses Why, oh why do you want to do me this way?
