Lyrics

I know that I work as hard as any man I get more money, I save what I can I treat my woman good, I give her all she needs Everybody says she's so mean to me I'm gonna work all day, sleep at night Woah, woah, babe, girl, treat me right Leave me alone, and let me lie I've got to work until I die My bossman works my fingers to the bone I just wanna sleep when I get home My woman, she wants to go out on the town Someday I wanna help to put my woman down I'm gonna work all day, sleep at night Woah, woah, babe, girl, treat me right Leave me alone, and let me lie I've got to work until I die Someday I'll know when my hair is turning white I'll be too old to work, and too old to fight My woman's gonna go, leave me all alone I'll never a life to call my own When I die nobody's gonna know Here lies a man who didn't want to go Tried all his life to do what's good A man who died before he could I'm gonna work all day, sleep at night Woah, woah, babe, girl, treat me right Leave me alone, and let me lie I've got to work until I die I'm gonna work all day, sleep at night Woah, woah, babe, girl, treat me right Leave me alone, and let me lie I've got to work until I die
