Fold my hands and pray for rain.
I got a head full of ideas
That are driving me insane.
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor.
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.

No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
Well he hands you a nickel,
He hands you a dime
He asks you with a grin
If you're having a good time,
Then he finds you every time you slam the door.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.

Out in your face just for kicks.
His bedroom window
It is made out of bricks.
The National Guard stands around his door.

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.
Well, she talks 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.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.

No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's dog no more.
Well, I give him his kibbles
I even give him a bone.
I pet him 'till my arm falls off
Just as soon as I get home.
I walk him but he still pees on all the floors.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's dog no more.
-

No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's grandma no more.
Well, she says she liked the Beatles

But only when she was stoned.
She talks about the sixties until I snore.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's grandma no more.

I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.

Well, I try my best
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.
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
