Maggie’s Farm

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

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

[Verse 1]
Well, he hands you a nickel, he hands you a dime
And he asks you with a grin if you're having a good time
Then he fines you every time you slam the door
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more

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

[Verse 2]
Well, he puts his cigar in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window, it's made outta bricks
And the National Guard stands 'round his door
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more

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

[Verse 3]
Well, she'll talk 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 fifty-four
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more

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

[Verse 4]
Well, I've tried my best, honey, just 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
No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
