Working Girl Blues Songtext

von Hazel Dickens

Hey I got the early Monday morning working blues
I put on my worn out working shoes
Well the weekend was too short but I can choose
When the lord made the working girl, he made the blues

Well I'm tired of working my life way
And givin someone else all of my pay
While they get rich on the profits that I lose
And leaving me here with the working girl blues

I do oh lay eee Working Girl Blues!
And I can't even afford a new pair of shoes
While they can live in any penthouse they choose
And all I got is the working girl blues

My boss said a raise is due almost any day
But I wonder will my hair be all turned gray
Before he turns that dollar loose and I get my dues
And lose a little bit of these working girl blues

Well I'm tired of working my life way
And givin someone else all of my pay
While they get rich on the profits that I lose
And leaving me here with the working girl blues

I do oh lay eee Working Girl Blues!
And I can't even afford a new pair of shoes
While they can live in any penthouse they choose
And all I got is the working girl blues
