Explore "Workin' Man" by Langston Hughes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I works all day / Wid a pick an' a shovel.
Comes home at night --
It ain't nothin' but a hovel.
I calls for ma woman / When I opens de door.
She's out in de street --
Ain't nothin' but a 'hore, / I does her good / An' I treats her fine, / But she don't gimme lovin'
Cause she ain't de right kind.
I'm a hard workin' man / An' I sho pays double / Cause I tries to be good / An' gits nothin' but trouble.
