Workin' Song

    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.

 A penny saved is a penny earned.
 A lesson lived is a lesson learned.
 The workers work and the players play.
      
 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 tiger's 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.

 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) 

     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.

  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)
