I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
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 that are driving me insane
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
See, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
ย
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
And then 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
ย
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
Well, he puts his cigar out in your face just for kicks
And his bedroom window, well, it's made of bricks
And the National Guard, it stands around his door, yeah
Yeah, I ain't gonna work for
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
ย
Ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
She talks to all the servants about man and God and law
Everyone says that she's the brains behind pa
Well, she's sixty-eight, but she says she's thirty-four
No, 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
See, I try my best to be just as I am
But everybody wants you, wants you to be just like them
And they say, "Sing while you slave," but I just get bored
And I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
