[00:14.24]There's an evening haze settling over town
[00:17.91]Starlight by the edge of the creek
[00:21.45]The buying power of the proletariat's gone down
[00:24.79]Money's getting shallow and weak
[00:27.94]Well, the place I love best is a sweet memory
[00:31.38]It's a new path that we trod
[00:34.76]They say low wages are a reality
[00:38.36]If we want to compete abroad
[00:42.19]My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf
[00:44.70]Come sit down on my knee
[00:47.83]You are dearer to me than myself
[00:51.54]As you yourself can see
[00:55.30]While I'm listening to the steel rails hum
[00:59.08]Got both eyes tight shut
[01:02.44]Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from
[01:05.62]Creeping its way into my gut
[01:09.34]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[01:12.66]Bring me my boots and shoes
[01:16.03]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[01:19.65]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[01:26.14]Well, I'm sailing on back, ready for the long haul
[01:29.97]Tossed by the winds and the seas
[01:33.20]I'll drag them all down to hell and I'll stand them at the wall
[01:36.41]I'll sell them to their enemies
[01:39.87]I'm trying to feed my soul with thought
[01:43.13]Going to sleep off the rest of the day
[01:46.87]Sometimes no one wants what we got
[01:50.15]Sometimes you can't give it away
[01:53.70]Now the place is ringed with countless foes
[01:57.02]Some of them may be deaf and dumb
[02:00.72]No man, no woman knows
[02:04.09]The hour that sorrow will come
[02:07.34]In the dark I hear the night birds call
[02:10.69]I can feel a lover's breath
[02:14.32]I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall
[02:17.98]Sleep is like a temporary death
[02:21.66]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[02:24.79]Bring me my boots and shoes
[02:27.92]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[02:31.51]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[02:38.12]Well, they burned my barn, and they stole my horse
[02:41.76]I can't save a dime
[02:45.39]I got to be careful, I don't want to be forced
[02:48.59]Into a life of continual crime
[02:51.88]I can see for myself that the sun is sinking
[02:55.42]How I wish you were here to see
[02:59.16]Tell me now, am I wrong in thinking
[03:02.51]That you have forgotten me?
[03:05.72]Now they worry and they hurry and they fuss and they fret
[03:09.39]They waste your nights and days
[03:12.83]Them I will forget
[03:16.20]But you I'll remember always
[03:19.21]Old memories of you to me have clung
[03:22.24]You've wounded me with your words
[03:25.72]Gonna have to straighten out your tongue
[03:28.74]It's all true, everything you've heard
[03:32.21]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[03:36.29]Bring me my boots and shoes
[03:39.62]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[03:43.53]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[03:50.78]In you, my friend, I find no blame
[03:53.75]Wanna look in my eyes, please do
[03:57.26]No one can ever claim
[04:00.20]That I took up arms against you
[04:03.85]All across the peaceful sacred fields
[04:07.30]They will lay you low
[04:10.28]They'll break your horns and slash you with steel
[04:14.48]I say it so it must be so
[04:17.36]Now I'm down on my luck and I'm black and blue
[04:20.99]Gonna give you another chance
[04:23.74]I'm all alone and I'm expecting you
[04:27.89]To lead me off in a cheerful dance
[04:31.43]I got a brand new suit and a brand new wife
[04:34.67]I can live on rice and beans
[04:38.30]Some people never worked a day in their life
[04:41.55]Don't know what work even means.
[04:45.52]Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
[04:48.76]Bring me my boots and shoes
[04:51.81]You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
[04:55.55]Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
[05:01.34]
