Lyrics

I´ve got no help in shovin´ stones out of way

I face challenges without assistance in clearing obstacles.

Twenty dollars in my pocket til´ the next pay day

I have only twenty dollars in my possession until the next payday.

Oh lord, I´ve got them working class blues

I express a sense of hardship associated with being part of the working class.

And if I ever saw money, I´d buy a new pair of shoes

If I were to come across money, my priority would be to buy new shoes.


I´ve got a fearful walk from the wrong side of town

I walk fearfully, possibly due to my origin in the less affluent part of town.

woman I love she keeps pulling me down

The woman I love is a source of trouble or hindrance in my life.

Oh lord, I´ve got them working class blues

I reiterate the challenges and struggles associated with being in the working class.

And if I ever saw money, I´d buy a new pair of shoes

If I were to come into money, my first desire would be to purchase new shoes.


No bank-account, no pension plan

I lack a bank account and a pension plan.

I live at minimal wage I´m a family man

I earn the minimum wage and am responsible for supporting my family.

No paid vaccation, no leisure town

I don't have paid vacation, and I don't live in a leisurely town.

Workin´ so hard that I must be a clown

I work so hard that it seems as if I am a clown.

Oh lord, I´ve got them working class blues

I restate the emotional burden and challenges of the working class lifestyle.


No bank-account, no pension plan

I reiterate the absence of a bank account and pension plan.

I live at minimal wage I´m a family man

I emphasize living on minimal wage and being a family man.

Oh lord, I´ve got them working class blues

I restate the overall sentiment of facing difficulties associated with the working class.

Oh lo´ lo´ Lord, I´ve got them working class blues

I express the emotional weight of the working class struggles, seeking solace from the Lord.
