"Workin' Man Blues" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Merle Haggard and The Strangers.

Backed by a strong electric guitar beat that typified Haggard's signature Bakersfield Sound, he fills the role of one of those workers expressing pride in values such as hard work and sacrifice, despite the resulting fatigue and the stress of raising a large family.

"(M)ost country artists would be happy to cut three tunes this strong during the course of their career, let alone as part of one of six albums Hag would release in 1969," wrote Deming.

[4] Diamond Rio, along with guitarists Steve Wariner and Lee Roy Parnell, recorded a cover of the song in 1994, crediting themselves as Jed Zeppelin.

The song was featured in the Simpsons episode, "Lost Verizon" while Bart collects golf balls at a country club for money.
