A Workingman’s Wage,
By Terry Scott Niebeling
Yes, I make a workingman’s wage-enough to keep working, enough to pay and play.
Enough to keep thinking.
Enough to keep food on the table.
Enough to keep drinking.
Enough to keep life a bit unstable.
Enough to keep a roof over head and my girl in my bed.
Enough to open and close my door.
Who needs anything more?
I work the day for a workingman’s wage; I count the days until I get paid.
This is a workingman’s way.
