The Working Man

[Verse 1]

Well, I was born on a sunday; on thursday I had me a job

I was born on a sunday; by thursday I was working out on the job

I ain't never had no day off since I learned right from wrong

Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head

Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head

And poppa threw me out, ooh, said, "I gotta earn my own way."

[Chorus]

I ain't never been in trouble

I ain't got the time

I don't mess around with magic, child

What I got is mine

[Verse 2]

Whatever you say, lord, well, that's what I'm gonna do

Whatever you say, well, that's what I'm gonna do

Cause I'm the working man, lord, and I do the job for you

[Chorus]

I ain't never been in trouble

I ain't got the time

I don't mess around with magic, child

What I got is mine

[Outro]

Every friday, well, that's when I get paid

Don't take me on friday, lord, cause that's when I get paid

Let me die on saturday night, ooh, before sunday gets my head
