C G7 C F
A dollar an hour eight hours a day
C D7 G7
Will soon make a young man wither away
C G7 C F
I work for my family with my wrinkled hands
C G7 C
For I'm a small time laboring man
G7 C F
Six long days each week I toil and I sweat
C D7 G7
But on Sunday my family gives me comfort and rest
C G7 C F
Then again Monday morning I'll make tracks in the sand
C G7 C
For I'm a small time laboring man
F
I'm a small time laboring man
C G7
Fighting against trying as hard as I can
C G7 C F
I fight for my country with my calloused hands
C G7 C
For I'm a small time laboring man
G7 C F
Twelve long months each year my life stays the same
C D7 G7
Making my honest dollar in the sun snow and rain
C G7 C F
No you don't see my family on the starvation plan
C G7 C
For I'm a small time laboring man
