Well I was born on a Sunday; On Thursday I had me a job.. I was born on a Sunday; By Thursday I was workin' out on the job.. I ain't never had no day off since I learned right from wrong.. Mama said I was bad I did something to her head.. Mama said I was bad I did something to her head.. And poppa threw me out ooh said "I gotta earn my own way.". CHORUS:. I ain't never been in trouble;. I ain't got the time.. I don't mess around with magic child.. What I got is mine.. Whatever you say Lord well that's what I'm gonna do.. Whatever you say well that's what I'm gonna do.. 'Cause I'm the Working Man Lord and I do the job for you.. CHORUS. Every Friday well that's when I get paid.. Don't take me on Friday Lord 'cause that's when I get paid.. Let me die on Saturday night ooh before Sunday gets my head..
