What will become of the working man,
With honest sweat on his brow
Is the nation that raised him to build it,
gonna turn its back on him now
Take away his pride and dignity,
give his job to some foreign land
Here's a question that needs
What will become of the hard working man
In better times in old America,
we sang the Working Man Blues with such pride
Many who worked 40 hours week after week have been let go,
And I'll tell ya, nothing is sadder,
than the soul of a hard working man
With no means to help out his family,
and nothing to do with his hands
What will become of the working
man. With honest sweat on his brow
Is the nation that raised him to build it,
gonna turn its back on him now
Take away his pride and dignity,
give his job to some foreign land
What will become of the hard
Here's a question that needs
What will become of the hard working man.
