I’ve Been Working (early version, take 5) Songtext
von Van Morrison

I′ve been workin'
I′ve been workin' so hard
Yes, I've been workin′
I′ve been workin' so hard

I come home
I′ll make-a love to you
Make-a love to you

I've been workin′
I've been workin′ for the king
I've been workin'
I′ve been workin′ for the king

Been on a railroad track
Behind the castle wall
And I've been workin′

I've been workin′ for Jesse James
I've been workin′ for Jesse James
And man, how we made a half a million?
Swinging on the rattle rain


I said, "Woman"
Make me feel all right
I said, "Woman, woman, woman, woman..."
Make me feel all right
Make me feel so good

(Hit it!)

I've been workin'
I′ve been workin′ in the rain
I've been workin′
Oh, I've been workin′ in the rain

And I don't think is up to me
Save your soul, save your own
Come on, work
(Work, work, work, work)
(Do the thing)
(Work)
(Ah)

I was standin′ on a corner
Just the other day
When a friend of mine came along
Put a thang on me, but I saw it coming


And I said
Don't lay no job on me, brother
I see everything goes bound
In front of me

I've been workin′
I′ve been workin' for the king
I′ve been workin'
I′ve been workin' so hard

When I come home
I′ll make-a love to you
Make-a love to you

Set my soul on fire
Set my soul on fire
When you walk the walk
When you talk the talk

Baby, talk
Oh, talk, baby, talk
Talk

What you have

There we go

Early around is cold
Let bell out
Walking on 'round town

Been rollin', rollin′ over
Chuck Berry, hold ′em pets
Still pandooze
So stuck on me and you
There you go

Doin' your thing
Ta-ta-tack, ta-tack
Ta-ta-tack, ta-tack, dash

Owh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Daba daba daba
Daba daba daba
Daba daba daba

Sing you a song
And that goes off for Tenison
Walkin′ through that
Croocker Fields

Beaten
One on one happened
Somebody shouted
You're gonna get the right feel, kid
I′m pretty sure of yourself

There goes Hoe Arthur
King of the engines
Him Billy the Kid
Well, played to stay

Paul?
Just slow down
With wild pulled headcock
