Maggie's Farm

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

A head full of ideas is drivin' me insane

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

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

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 hands you a nickel, he hands you a dime

He asks you with a grin if you are having a good time

Then he fines you every time you slam the door

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

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

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

Well, he puts his cigar out in your face just for kicks

His bedroom window, it is made out of bricks

The National Guard stands around his door

Ah, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more

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

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

But when she talks to all the servants about man and God and law

Everybody says she's the brains behind pa

She's seventy-two but she says she's twenty-four

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

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

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

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

But everybody wants you to be just like them

They say sing while you slave and I just get bored

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