I'm Workin'

I was born in south Texas

Didn't have a dollar to our name

My poppa left my momma there

To pick cotton and cut down sugarcane

She had to work like a slave, all day

So I might have better

Spend my time in them sunshine ray

I'm workin'

Baby, I'm workin'

Ooh daddy, I'm workin'

Yes momma, I'm workin'

Ooh brother, I'm workin' for you

Wanna know if it's worth it, or true

I just want better

And I'm about to break on through

Baby, I'm workin'

Might not mean a thing to you

These places that I'd like to go

But the things that I'm looking for

Just ain't around no more

My uncle was a gambling man

Way down in New Orleans

There let me run them streets

Baby, now I do my thing

Honey, I'm workin'

And baby, I'm workin'

Sugar, I'm workin'

Sister, I'm workin'

Ooh brother, I'm workin' for you

Wanna know if it's worth it, it's true

I just want better

Tell me what else can I do?

Baby, I'm workin'

Sugar, I'm workin'

Darlin', I'm workin'

Ooh baby, I am workin'

Yeah, darlin'

I am workin'
