I've been out too late
Been up the line
I couldn't buy nothin'
To pacify my mind
Here I am, the hard workin' man
Well now, doing the best I can

I laid on my bed
With my achin' head
I received a letter
The girl I love was dead
Then here I am, a hard workin' man
Well now, doing the best I can

I roll and I tumble
From side to sidePeetie Wheatstraw - Working Man - http://motolyrics.com/peetie-wheatstraw/working-man-lyrics.html
I will try so hard
To be satisfied
And here I am, a hard workin' man
Well now, doing the best I can

They call me, 'Peetie, the lucky man'
But I wish someone
Would give me a lucky hand
Then here I am, a hard workin' man
Well now, doing the best I can

I'm goin' away to leave you
Ain't gonna tell you, 'goodbye'
Girl, I've done gone
Please don't hang yo' head and cry
Then here I am, a hard workin' man
Well now, doing the best I can

I have so much bad luck
Here go the bad luck man
But I try so hard, to do the best I can
Then here I am, a hard workin' man
Well now, doing the best I can.
