Workin' Song:

1st Verse: Well, I've been workin' since I was ten.
There ain't no rest for the workin' man.

We got a family to feed,
and we do what's right.
You see! that's the difference,
between us and them.
We got a job to do and
we just say when.
From the earliest mornin'
to the deepest night.


Chorus: And when the sun comes up,
we're standing there.
We might be tired, but there's
a load to bear.
I count my blessin's; kiss my babies
and my wife good-bye.


section: A penny saved is a penny earned.
A lesson lived is a lesson learned.
The workers work and the players play.

2nd Verse: We got scars on our hands,
and bruises on our backs.
Axes, picks, shovels and jacks!
Whatever it takes to keep our
families free.

And we try real hard,
yeah, we do our best.
'Cause when a man's got a soul
he ain't got time to rest.
It's a jungle out there
and this tigers got a brood to feed.

Chorus: And when the sun comes up,
we're standing there.
We might be tired, but there's
a load to bear.
I count my blessin's; kiss my babies
and my wife good-bye.


section: You see, a penny saved is a penny earned.
A lesson lived is a lesson learned.
The workeres work and the players play.
You gotta have a goal at the end of the day.
repeat section above.


Instumental:

Chorus: And when I come home,
They're standin' there.
And I thank god for all
the love we share.
I count my blessings and kiss
my babies and wife good-night.


section: You see, a penny saved is a penny earned.
A lesson lived is a lesson learned.
The workeres work and the players play.
You gotta have a goal at the end of the day.
