Tom: Em
Em
I was born in south Texas
D
Didn't have a dollar to our name
Em
My poppa left my momma there
D
To pick cotton and cut down sugar cane
Em D
She had to work like a slave, all day
Em
So I might have better
D
Spend my time in them sunshine ray
[Chorus]
Em
I'm workin'
D
Baby, I'm workin'
Em
Ooh daddy, I'm workin'
D
Yes momma, I'm workin'
Em
Ooh brother, I'm workin' for you
D
Wanna know if it's worth it, or true
Em
I just want better
D
And I'm about to break on through
Em D
Baby, I'm workin'
[Verse 2]
Em
Might not mean a thang to you
D
These places that I'd like to go
Em
But the things that I'm looking for
D
Just ain't around no more
Em
My uncle was a gambling man
D
Way down in New Orleans
Em
There let me run them streets
D
Baby now I do my thing
[Chorus 2]
Em
Honey, I'm workin'
D
And baby, I'm workin'
Em
Sugar, I'm workin'
D
Sister, I'm workin'
Em
Ooh brother, I'm workin' for you
D
Wanna know if it's worth it, it's true
Em
I just want better
D
Tell me what else can I do?
[Outro]
Em
Baby, I'm workin'
D
Sugar, I'm workin'
Em
Darlin', I'm workin'
D
Oooh baby, I am workin'
Em
Yeah, darlin', I am workin'
