Lyrics Creedence Clearwater Revival – The Working Man
Text:
Well, I was born on a Sunday; On Thursday I had me a job
I was born on a Sunday; By Thursday I was workin’ 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.»
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
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
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
