Maggie’s Farm - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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

I got a head full of ideas

That are drivin' me insane

[Bridge]

It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor

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

[Verse 2]

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

He hands you a dime

He asks you with a grin

If you're having a good time

[Bridge]

Then he fines you every time you slam the door

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more

[Verse 3]

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 in your face just for kicks

His bedroom window

It is made out of bricks

[Bridge]

The National Guard stands around his door

Ah, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's Pa no more

[Verse 4]

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

[Bridge]

She's 68, but she says she's 54

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's Ma no more

[Verse 5]

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

[Bridge]

They say "Sing while you slave" and I just get bored

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