Maggie's Farm (Live at The Forum, Inglewood, CA - February 14, 1974 (Evening))

[Verse 1]

Oh, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more

No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more

Well, I wake up in the morning, fold my hands and pray for rain

I got a head full of ideas driving me insane

It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor

No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more

[Verse 2]

And I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more

No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more

Well, he finds a-you a nickel, finds a-you a dime

He asks ya with a grin if you're having a good time

He fines you every time you slam the door

No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more

[Verse 3]

Well, I ain't gonna work for Maggiе's Pa no more

Said I ain't gonna work for Maggie's Pa no more

Wеll, he puts his cigar out in yo' face for kicks

His bedroom window, it is a-made out of bricks

Ya know the National Guard stands around his door?

Well, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's Pa no more

[Verse 4]

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's mother no more

Well, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's mother no more

Well, she talks to all the servants 'bout man and God and law

Everybody says she's the brains behind Pa

68, but says she's 24

No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's Ma no more

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 5]

No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more

Said I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more

Yeah, I try my best to be just like I am

But everybody wants you to be like them

They say, "Sing while you slave," I get bored

No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more

[Outro]

We're gonna play one more, but before we do

We're gonna bring out the man responsible for this tour

He's behind the scenes and he brings us to you

Yeah, where is he?

Is he in there?

We're gonna bring him out now, Mr. Bill Graham, you know him

Barry Imhoff too

These guys put this show together

And we couldn't have done it without 'em!
