Small Time Laboring Man

Song Author George Jones og Earl Montgomery Performer: George Jones Submitted by: Anonymous

[C]A dollar an [G7]hour eight [C]hours a [F]day

Will [C]soon make a young man [D7]wither [G7]away

I [C]work for my [G7]family with [C]my wrinkled [F]hands

For I'm a [C]small time [G7]laboring [C]man

Six long days each [G7]week I [C]toil and I [F]sweat

But on [C]Sunday my family gives [D7]me comfort and [G7]rest

Then [C]again Monday [G7]morning I'll make [C]tracks in the [F]sand

For I'm a [C]small time [G7]laboring [C]man

I'm a [F]small time laboring man

Fighting [C]against trying as hard as I [G7]can

I [C]fight for my [G7]country with [C]my calloused [F]hands

For I'm a [C]small time [G7]laboring [C]man

Twelve long months each [G7]year my [C]life stays the [F]same

Making [C]my honest dollar in the [D7]sun snow and [G7]rain

No [C]you don't see my [G7]family on the [C]starvation [F]plan

For I'm a [C]small time [G7]laboring [C]man

A dollar an hour eight hours a day
Will soon make a young man wither away
I work for my family with my wrinkled hands
For I'm a small time laboring man

Six long days each week I toil and I sweat
But on Sunday my family gives me comfort and rest
Then again Monday morning I'll make tracks in the sand
For I'm a small time laboring man

I'm a small time laboring man
Fighting against trying as hard as I can
I fight for my country with my calloused hands
For I'm a small time laboring man

Twelve long months each year my life stays the same
Making my honest dollar in the sun snow and rain
No you don't see my family on the starvation plan
For I'm a small time laboring man
