Working Man - Manny Charlton

All of his life he's been a working man

Up every morning in the dark and rain

Every Friday night he gets his take home pay

And he hands it all over and he don't complain



All of his life he's been a working man

He never pushed paper but he used his hands

And all that he was his father's way

So he'll walk in his footsteps to his dying day



Put your hands together for the working man

Puts food on the table for his wife and weans

My daddy spent his life as a working man

And he worked for a year for his week in Spain



All of his life he's been a working man

Up every morning in the dark and rain

Every Friday night he gets his take home pay

And he hands it all over and he don't complain



All of his life he's been a working man

He never pushed paper but he used his hands

And all that he was his father's way

So he'll walk in his footsteps to his dying day



Put your hands together for the working man

Puts food on the table for his wife and weans

My daddy spent his life as a working man

And he worked for a year for his week in Spain

Toute sa vie, il a été un ouvrier

Debout tous les matins dans le noir et la pluie

Chaque vendredi soir, il reçoit son salaire net

Et il remet tout ça et il ne se plaint pas



Toute sa vie, il a été un ouvrier

Il n'a jamais poussé le papier mais il a utilisé ses mains

Et tout ce qu'il était à la manière de son père

Alors il marchera sur ses traces jusqu'à son dernier jour



Mettez vos mains ensemble pour le travailleur

Met de la nourriture sur la table pour sa femme et sevrage

Mon papa a passé sa vie comme ouvrier

Et il a travaillé pendant un an pendant sa semaine en Espagne



Toute sa vie, il a été un ouvrier

Debout tous les matins dans le noir et la pluie

Chaque vendredi soir, il reçoit son salaire net

Et il remet tout ça et il ne se plaint pas



Toute sa vie, il a été un ouvrier

Il n'a jamais poussé le papier mais il a utilisé ses mains

Et tout ce qu'il était à la manière de son père

Alors il marchera sur ses traces jusqu'à son dernier jour



Mettez vos mains ensemble pour le travailleur

Met de la nourriture sur la table pour sa femme et sevrage

Mon papa a passé sa vie comme ouvrier

Et il a travaillé pendant un an pendant sa semaine en Espagne
