[Verse 1]

Well, I was born on a Sunday

On Thursday, I had me a job

I was born on a Sunday

By Thursday, I was working out on the job

I ain't never had no day off

Since I learned right from wrong

[Verse 2]

Said I was bad

I did something to her head

Mama said I was bad

I did something to her head

And Papa threw me out, oh

Said, "I gotta earn my own way"

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 3]

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, I do the job for you

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 4]

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

Oh, before Sunday gets my head
