Lyrics

0:06I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
0:14No I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
0:21Well I wake in the morning
0:24Fold my hands and pray for rain
0:26I got a head full of ideas
0:29That are drivin' me insane
0:31It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
0:37I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
0:48I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
0:56No I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
1:04Well he hands you a nickel He hands you a dime
1:10He asks you with a grin
1:12If you're havin' a good time
1:15Then he fines you every time you slam the door
1:20I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
1:31I ain't gonna work for Maggie's farm no more
1:38No I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
1:45Well he puts his cigar Out in your face just for kicks
1:50His bedroom window
1:53It is made out of bricks
1:56The National Guard stands around his door
2:01Ah I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
2:17I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
2:24No I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
2:32Well she talks to all the servants
2:35About man and God and law
2:38Everybody says
2:40She's the brains behind pa
2:43She's sixty-eight but she says she's twenty-four
2:48I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
3:02I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
3:10I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
3:18Well I try my best
3:21To be just like I am
3:24But everybody wants you
3:27To be just like them
3:29They say sing while you slave but I just get bored
3:34I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
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 in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for rain
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin' me insane
It's a shame the way she makes me 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're havin' 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 farm 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
Well she talks to all the servants
About man and God and law
Everybody says
She's the brains behind pa
She's sixty-eight 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 but  I just get bored
I ain't gonna work on  Maggie's farm no more
