I'm a hard-workin' man, and I work both day and night
I'm a hard-workin' man, and I work both day and night
And no matter what I do my baby just won't treat me right
So many nights I'd come in and I've found you gone
So many nights I'd come in and I've found you gone
And I can't do nothin', but just sit and cryr alone
Ev'y mornin' before payday, you treat me like a king treat a queen
Ev'y mornin' before payday, you treat me like a king treat a queen
But after you get my money in hand, you treat me like someone you ain't never seen
SOLO
I ain't gon' give you no more of my money, babe, I'm sick of bein' your clown
I ain't gon' give you no more of my money, I'm sick of bein' your clown
I'm gon' get me a settle-minded woman, I'm gonna let you wild womens run around
Mmmmmmmm, Lord, I feel like raisin' sand
Mmmmmmmm, I feel like raisin' sand
Says, I'm just a hard-workin' man, tryin' to do the best I can
