Well, 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
Got a head full of ideas and they're just drivin' me insane
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
And I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
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 hands you a nickel and 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
And I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
ย
Well, 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 on your face just for kicks
His bedroom window it is made out of bricks
The National Guard stands around his door
And I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
ย
And I ain't gonna work for Maggie's mother no more
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's mother no more
Well, she talks to all the servants about man and God and law
And everybody says she's the brains behind pa
She's sixty-eight but she says she's twenty-four
And I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma 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 try my best to be just what I am
But everybody wants you to be just like them
They sing while you slave and just get bored
And I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Said, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more (no)
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
