lyrics
Worked down Mississippi California too. Worked all night and day babe, play a little blues for you. Worked south of the border, up in Chi-town too. Southside Johnnys lookin' sharp, always feelin' blue. Lord I worked on a railroad, worked on a highway too, worked down in the swamp babe, worked on chain-gang. Said, I said Lord I'm workin' man, workin' on the blues. Lord I'm workin' man, workin' on the blues. Here we go hey! Wondered all around, found my baby girl. She left me down in Houstontown, took off around the world. Stand here on the corner, gonna stand right here and sing. Big city girl just pass on by, got no time for me. Lord, I said lord I'm workin' man, workin' on the blues. Lord I'm workin' man, workin' on the blues. Here we go hey! Go on, work it now. Said lord I'm workin' Lord I'm workin' hard Lord I'm workin' babe Can't get nowhere Keep a workin' babe Lord can't get nowhere Keep a workin' babe Lord everywhere I go. Downtown cats play dirty, uptown suits and brass. That boy go below 14, he ain't never come back. Lord no You better leave it, better leave it alone. Said lord I'm workin' Lord I'm workin' hard Lord I'm workin' babe Can't get nowhere Keep a workin' now Lord can't get nowhere Keep a workin' babe Lord everywhere I go. Said lord I'm workin' Lord I'm workin' hard Lord I'm workin' babe Workin' on the blues Said lord I'm workin' Said I'm workin' hard Lord I'm workin' babe Workin' on the blues Keep a workin' Workin' on the blues Keep a workin' Workin' on the blues Said a workin' now Workin' on the blues Said a workin' people Workin' on the blues Workin' on the blues Workin' on the blues Workin' on the blues Workin' on the blues now Workin' on the blues Workin' on the blues Workin' on the blues Workin' on the blues now Here we go hey!

about

Workin' on the Blues is about the lifelong struggles of musicians who make a living doing many journeyman jobs while continuing to do what they love, i.e., to play blues on the streets and in the bars, - to "stand right here and sing!"
