Lyrics
He's a hard, hard-workin' man
I live in a shack by the railroad track
I work all day and I break-a my back
Go home in the evenin' from the blisterin' sun
Lord, give me strength to get this week's work done
I'm a hard workin' man (Hard-workin' man)
Come-a Saturday mornin', I gotta rise and shine
Pay on the things I done bought on time
Headin' back to my shack, I done spent every cent
What am I gonna do when they come for the rent?
I'm a hard workin' man (Hard-workin' man)
Up-a Sunday mornin' with my Bible in my hand
Headed for the church to hear the preacher man
Down on my knees, Lord, I beg and I pray
Help me to find another way someday
I'm a hard workin' man
When I lay down my burden, take me by the hand
Lead me over yonder in the promised land
Grant one wish 'cause, Lord, I know you can
A settin' down job for this hard-workin' man
I'm a hard workin' man
I'm a hard workin' man
(He's a hard-workin' man)
I live in a shack by the railroad track
I work all day and I break-a my back
Go home in the evenin' from the blisterin' sun
Lord, give me strength to get this week's work done
I'm a hard workin' man (Hard-workin' man)
Come-a Saturday mornin', I gotta rise and shine
Pay on the things I done bought on time
Headin' back to my shack, I done spent every cent
What am I gonna do when they come for the rent?
I'm a hard workin' man (Hard-workin' man)
Up-a Sunday mornin' with my Bible in my hand
Headed for the church to hear the preacher man
Down on my knees, Lord, I beg and I pray
Help me to find another way someday
I'm a hard workin' man
When I lay down my burden, take me by the hand
Lead me over yonder in the promised land
Grant one wish 'cause, Lord, I know you can
A settin' down job for this hard-workin' man
I'm a hard workin' man
I'm a hard workin' man
(He's a hard-workin' man)
