Working for the Man – Roy Orbison lyrics

Details

Description

With a bit from my past 1961
Hey now you better listen to me every one of you
We got a lotta lotta lotta work to do
At Wingham New South Wales
Just outside the cow milking bails

For those in the who, who understand
We are working for the man
I believe Bill is going to work me into the ground
The farm is at Dingo Creek or somewhere all around

Well, pick up your feet
We’ve got a deadline to meet
and bean picking is the feat though nice to eat
Forget about women and that water can
Today were working for the man

The year is ’61 for those in the know
I have this to show
from L to R Jeff, Robert, Gary
With I at the camera to go.

‘Cause we’re working for the man
And you gotta understand
If you’re part of the band.



Lyrics Working for the Man

Hey now you better listen to me every one of you
We got a lotta lotta lotta work to do
Forget about your woman and that water can
Today were working for the man

Well, pick up your feet
We’ve got a deadline to meet
I’m gonna see you make it on time
For don’t relax, I want elbows and backs
I wanna see everybody from behind

‘Cause you’re working for the man
Working for the man
You gotta make him a hand
A working for the man

Oh I’m pickin’ ‘em up
And I’m laying ‘em down
I believe he’s gonna work me into the ground
I pull to the left, I heave to the right
I wanna kill him but it wouldn’t be right

Cause I’m working for the man
A working for the man
I gotta make him a hand
A working for the man

Well the boss man’s daughter, sneaks me water
Everytime her daddy’s down the line
She says meet me tonight, love a me right
And everything is gonna be fine

So I slave all day, without much pay
‘cause I’m just abiding my time
‘Cause the company and the daughter you see
Their both gonna be all mine

Yeah, I’m gonna be the man, gonna be the man
Gotta make him a hand, if I’m gonna be the man
Working for the man, working for the man
I gotta make him a hand, if I’m gonna be the man
