Ballad of the Working Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hear the whistle blowing, another working day
Turn the wheels of power, earn your daily pay
The blood and sweat of working men made this country great
To the Kings and Queens of industry, your lives we celebrate
No matter where you're going, remember where you've been
[Chorus]
It takes me back to a simple life
I sing my song: The Ballad of the Working Man
[Verse 2]
The rhythm of the engines, pounding out a song
Pulling all together to make this kingdom strong
To every man and woman, standing tall and proud
We dedicate this song to you, rejoice and shout out loud
It's not so complicated, remember where you're from
[Chorus]
It takes me back to a simple life
I sing my song: The Ballad of the Working Man
Working man
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Another round of whiskey, another shot of gin
Barmaid rings last orders, get the last ones in
The place is full of laughter, the glasses full of beer
It takes me to a simple life that's nearly disappeared
No matter where you're going, remember where you've been
[Chorus]
Take me back to a simple life
I sing my song: The Ballad of the Working Man
The Ballad of the Working Man
The Ballad of the Working Man
Hear the whistle blowing, another working day
Turn the wheels of power, earn your daily pay
The blood and sweat of working men made this country great
To the Kings and Queens of industry, your lives we celebrate
No matter where you're going, remember where you've been
It takes me back to a simple life
I sing my song: The Ballad of the Working Man
The rhythm of the engines, pounding out a song
Pulling all together to make this kingdom strong
To every man and woman, standing tall and proud
We dedicate this song to you, rejoice and shout out loud
It's not so complicated, remember where you're from
It takes me back to a simple life
I sing my song: The Ballad of the Working Man
Working man
Another round of whiskey, another shot of gin
Barmaid rings last orders, get the last ones in
The place is full of laughter, the glasses full of beer
It takes me to a simple life that's nearly disappeared
No matter where you're going, remember where you've been
Take me back to a simple life
I sing my song: The Ballad of the Working Man

It highlights the importance of recognizing the efforts of working men and women while also acknowledging the challenges they face. This all helps suggest that the sweat and toil of working individuals has played a significant role in shaping the greatness of one's nation, praising them as the true Kings and Queens of industry.
