[00:15.23]There's an evening haze settling over town
[00:18.90]Starlight by the edge of the creek
[00:22.46]The buying power of the proletariat's gone down
[00:26.35]Money's getting shallow and weak
[00:29.61]The place I love best is a sweet memory
[00:33.13]It's a new path that we trod
[00:36.77]They say low wages are a reality
[00:39.35]If we want to compete abroad
[00:44.40]My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf
[00:48.07]Come sit down on my knee
[00:51.62]You are dearer to me than myself
[00:55.14]As you yourself can see
[00:58.76]While I'm listening to the steel rails hum
[01:02.50]Got both eyes tight shut
[01:06.09]Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from
[01:09.77]Creeping its way into my gut
[01:13.49]
[01:14.05]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[01:17.12]Bring me my boots and shoes
[01:20.81]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[01:24.28]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[01:27.60]
[01:35.65]I'm sailing on back, ready for the long haul
[01:38.98]Tossed by the winds and the seas
[01:42.41]I'll drag them all down to hell and I'll stand them at the wall
[01:46.30]I'll sell them to their enemies
[01:49.80]I'm trying to feed my soul with thought
[01:53.55]Going to sleep off the rest of the day
[01:57.18]Sometimes no one wants what we got
[02:00.79]Sometimes you can't give it away
[02:04.44]Now the place is ringed with countless foes
[02:08.12]Some of them may be deaf and dumb
[02:11.40]No man, no woman knows
[02:15.44]The hour that sorrow will come
[02:19.14]In the dark I hear the night birds call
[02:22.79]I can feel a lover's breath
[02:26.32]I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall
[02:30.30]Sleep is like a temporary death
[02:33.97]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[02:36.69]Bring me my boots and shoes
[02:41.26]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[02:44.93]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[02:50.05]
[02:56.68]They burned my barn, and they stole my horse
[03:00.03]I can't save a dime
[03:03.84]I got to be careful, I don't want to be forced
[03:07.30]Into a life of continual crime
[03:10.75]I can see for myself that the sun is sinking
[03:14.46]How I wish you were here to see
[03:18.43]Tell me now, am I wrong in thinking
[03:22.43]That you have forgotten me?
[03:25.69]Now they worry and they hurry and they fuss and they fret
[03:29.02]They waste your nights and days
[03:32.48]Them I will forget
[03:35.99]But you I'll remember always
[03:39.04]Old memories of you to me have clung
[03:43.43]You've wounded me with your words
[03:47.22]Gonna have to straighten out your tongue
[03:51.59]It's all true, everything you've heard
[03:55.42]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[03:58.28]Bring me my boots and shoes
[04:01.72]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[04:05.61]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[04:13.04]
[04:16.87]In you, my friend, I find no blame
[04:19.95]Wanna look in my eyes, please do
[04:24.00]No one can ever claim
[04:27.61]That I took up arms against you
[04:31.24]All across the peaceful sacred fields
[04:34.79]They will lay you low
[04:38.67]They'll break your horns and slash you with steel
[04:42.39]I say it so it must be so
[04:46.10]Now I'm down on my luck and I'm black and blue
[04:50.37]Gonna give you another chance
[04:53.36]I'm all alone and I'm expecting you
[04:56.69]To lead me off in a cheerful dance
[05:00.42]I got a brand new suit and a brand new wife
[05:04.03]I can live on rice and beans
[05:07.58]Some people never worked a day in their life
[05:11.57]Don't know what work even means.
[05:15.01]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[05:18.80]Bring me my boots and shoes
[05:22.35]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[05:26.23]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

There's an evening haze settling over town
Starlight by the edge of the creek
The buying power of the proletariat's gone down
Money's getting shallow and weak
The place I love best is a sweet memory
It's a new path that we trod
They say low wages are a reality
If we want to compete abroad
My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf
Come sit down on my knee
You are dearer to me than myself
As you yourself can see
While I'm listening to the steel rails hum
Got both eyes tight shut
Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from
Creeping its way into my gut
Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
Bring me my boots and shoes
You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
I'm sailing on back, ready for the long haul
Tossed by the winds and the seas
I'll drag them all down to hell and I'll stand them at the wall
I'll sell them to their enemies
I'm trying to feed my soul with thought
Going to sleep off the rest of the day
Sometimes no one wants what we got
Sometimes you can't give it away
Now the place is ringed with countless foes
Some of them may be deaf and dumb
No man, no woman knows
The hour that sorrow will come
In the dark I hear the night birds call
