Workin' Man Blues
It's a big job gettin' by with
這是艱鉅的任務
Nine kids and a wife
支撐九個孩子和一個妻子的家
You know I've been a workin'
你知道我幾乎一輩子
Man dang near all my life
就是一個工人
I'll keep on working long as
只要我的雙手能動
My two hands are fit to use
我就能長期工作
I drink my beer at a tavern and sing
我在小酒館喝點啤酒
A little bit of these working man blues
唱點這些工人藍調
Well I keep my nose on the grindstone
我長期堅持埋頭苦幹
Work hard every day
每天努力工作
Get tired on the weekend
週末領了工資後
After I draw my pay
感覺很累
[01:18.46]But I go back workin'
但我得回去工作
Come Monday mornin'
一到週一早上
I'm right back with the crew
我立馬歸隊上班
I drink a little beer that evening
那天晚上我喝點啤酒
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
唱些工人藍調
Sometimes I think about leavin'
有時我想離開
Do a little bummin' around
四處遊蕩
Throw my bills out the window
把我的賬單扔到窗外
Catch me a train to another town
趕上一班火車去另一個小鎮
I got to buy my kids
但我得回去上班
A brand new pair of shoes
我得為我孩子
I drink my beer at a tavern and cry
買嶄新的鞋子
A little bit of these workin' man blues
我在小酒館喝著啤酒，聲嘶力竭的唱
Here comin' workin' man
點那些工人藍調
Well hey hey the working man
來這裡上班的工人
The working man like me
嗨嗨工人
Never been on welfare and
像我這樣的工人
That's one place he will not be
從不依靠福利金生活
he'd be workin' just as long
那是他不願去的地方
As his two hands are fit to use
只要他的雙手能動
Might drink a little beer at a tavern sing
他就一直會工作
A little bit of them workin' man blues
可以在酒館喝點啤酒
This song for the working man
唱些工人藍調
