Lyrics
Work all night, and I work all day
Life just ain't worth livin' this way
Work the soles right off my shoes
I've got the poor boy workin' blues
Left my home when I was just a boy
Found me a job up north in Detroit
Work long hours just to pay my bills
While the rich man lived in a mansion on the hill
Work all night, and I work all day
Life just ain't work livin' this way
Work the soles right off my shoes
I've got the poor boy workin' blues
Call me a country boy, call me what you will
But I ain't no crook lookin' for a way to steal
Work long hours just to pay my way
Lord, I barely make it from day to day
Work all night, and I work all day
Life just ain't worth livin' this way
Work the soles right off my shoes
I've got the poor boy workin' blues
Work all night, and I work all day
Life just ain't worth livin' this way
Work the soles right off my shoes
I've got the poor boy workin' blues
I've got the poor boy workin' blues
