Ballad of the Working Man - Saxon

Hear the whistle blowing

Another working day

Turn the wheels of power

Earn the daily pay

The blood and sweat of working men

Made this country great

The Kings and Queens of industry

This song we dedicate

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

The barmaid rings last orders

Get the last ones in

The place is full of laughter

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

It takes 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
