Generate meaning
1
There's an evenin' haze settlin' over town
2
Starlight by the edge of the creek
3
The buyin' power of the Proletariat's gone down
4
Money's gettin' shallow and weak
5
Well, the place I love best is a sweet memory
6
It's a new path that we trod
7
They say, low wages are reality
8
If we want to compete abroad
9
My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf
10
Come sit down on my knee
11
You are dearer to me than myself
12
As you yourself can see
13
While I'm listenin' to the steel rails hum
14
Got both eyes tight shut
15
Just sittin' here tryin' to keep the hunger from
16
Creepin' it's way into my gut
17
Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
18
Bring me my boots and shoes
19
You can hang back or fight your best on the front line
20
Sing a little bit of these working man's blues
21
Well, I'm sailin' on back, ready for the long haul
22
Tossed by the winds and the seas
23
I'll drag 'em all down to hell and I'll stand 'em at the wall
24
I'll sell 'em to their enemies
25
I'm tryin' to feed my soul with thought
26
Gonna sleep off the rest of the day
27
Sometimes no one wants what we got
28
Sometimes you can't give it away
29
Now the place is ringed with countless foes
30
Some of them may be deaf and dumb
31
No man, no woman knows
32
The hour that sorrow will come
33
In the dark I hear the night birds call
34
I can feel a lover's breath
35
I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall
36
Sleep is like a temporary death
37
Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
38
Bring me my boots and shoes
39
You can hang back or fight your best on the front line
40
Sing a little bit of these working man's blues
41
Well, they burned my barn and they stole my horse
42
I can't save a dime
43
I got to be careful, I don't wanna be forced
44
Into a life of continual crime
45
I can see for myself that the sun is sinkin'
46
How I wish you were here to see
47
Tell me now, am I wrong in thinking
48
That you have forgotten me?
49
Now they worry and they hurry, and they fuss, and they fret
50
They waste your nights and days
51
But them I will forget
52
But you, I'll remember always
53
Old memories of you to me have clung
54
You've wounded me with your words
55
Gonna have to straighten out your tongue
56
It's all true, everything you've heard
57
Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
58
Bring me my boots and shoes
59
You can hang back or fight your best on the front line
60
Sing a little bit of these working man's blues
61
In you, my friend, I find no blame
62
Wanna look in my eyes, please do
63
No one can ever claim
64
That I took up arms against you
65
All across the peaceful sacred fields
66
They will lay you low
67
They'll break your horns and slash you with steel
68
I say it so it must be so
69
Now I'm down on my luck and I'm black and blue
70
Gonna give you another chance
71
I'm all alone, I'm expecting you
72
To lead me off in a cheerful dance
73
I got a brand new suit and a brand new wife
74
I can live on rice and beans
75
Some people never worked a day in their life
76
Don't know what work even means
77
But meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
78
Bring me my boots and shoes
79
You can hang back or fight your best on the front line
80
