I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I wake up every morning
Hold my hands and pray for rain
I've got a head full of ideas
Driving me insane
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
Well, I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
Well, I ain't gonna work for maggie's brother no more
I ain't gonna work for maggie's brother no more
He hands you a nickel
He hands you a dime
He asks you and your friends
If you're having a good time
He blames you every time you slam the door
Well, I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
Well, I ain't gonna work for maggie's pa no more
I ain't gonna work for maggie's pa no more
He stubs his cigarette out in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window is made out of bricks
And the national guard are standing at his door
Well, I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
Well, I ain't gonna work for maggie's mother no more
I ain't gonna work for maggie's mother no more
She talks to all the servants about man and God and law
And everybody swears she's the brains behind pa
She's sixty-eight, but claim's she's twenty-four
Well, I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
Well, I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I try so hard to be just who I am
But everybody wants you to be just like them
They say see, while you're playing I get bored ? ?
Well, I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
