"Got My Mojo Working"
I would work twenty-four hours, seven days a week
Just so I can come home and kiss your cheek
I'll love you in the morning and I'll love you at noon
I'll love you in the night and take you to the moon
In junior high, we used to sing "Working on the Railroad"
:)Thanks Andy ((((Hugs)))

I'm a-gonna raise a fuss
I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer
Just-a trying to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby
Try to get a date
My boss says "No dice, son
You gotta work late"
...
Well, I didn't go to work
Told the boss I was sick
"You can't use the car
'Cause you didn't work a lick"
Hi moovova ((((Hugs)))

No Depression in Heaven--The Carter Family (1936)
I don’t know if Billy Joel‘s ‘Allentown’ can really be considered a working song, but it sure hits home for.me. I grew up in a mill town, and those lyrics were spot-on. Folks (including my brothers and me) were working in the mills one day, and out of a job the next.
The song almost makes me cry. And yeah, my father was a WW 2 vet.
Well we’re living here in Allentown
And they’re closing all the factories down
Out in Bethlehem they’re killing time
Filling out forms
Standing in line
Well our fathers fought the Second World War
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
Met our mothers in the USO
Asked them to dance
Danced with them slow
And we’re living here in Allentown
But the restlessness was handed down
And it’s getting very hard to stay...
We once did a video for this for our tv show.(((((Hugs))))
