Welcome to Work Songs! We started this site to offer an ever expanding database of songs about work and occupations for teachers, researchers, folklorists, and everyone else interested in what singers, songwriters, and musicians have to say about the meaning and experience of work. We are starting with over 500 songs in our catalog.
We welcome your reactions to the site, and we encourage you to use the site itself (see below) to share songs we may have missed.
To search for a song, type the title, artist or genre into the search bar. Or, if you want to explore, simply select occupation, artist, or genre from the drop down list at the top right for a list of the occupations, artists and genres currently included on this site.
For more information, click "about" at the bottom of this page.
