[Verse 1]
Woke up in the morning 'bout the break of day
I hugged the pillow where you used to lay
[Hook]
She can't work
[Verse 2]
Said rooster chewed tobacco, the hen dipped snuff
Chicks can't do it but they strut their stuff
[Hook]
Miss can't work
[Verse 3]
Old Aunt Dinah she's long and slim
When she starts to shake it, it's too tight Jim
[Hook]
She can't work
[Verse 4]
What did the rooster say to the hen?
Ain't seen my woman in god knows when
[Hook]
Miss can't work
[Verse 5]
Says a nickel is a nickel and a dime is a dime
Got a house full of children and none are mine
[Hook]
She just can't work
[Verse 6]
Mamas got the rub-board, papas got the tug
Well sisters got thе whiskey and brothers got the jug
[Hook]
Miss can't work
[Verse 7]
Wakе up mama here the rooster crow
One at your window, one at your door
[Hook]
Just can't work
[Verse 8]
Said the rooster crow and the hen walked 'round
I ain't seen my woman since she leaved this town
[Hook]
She can't work
