Cherryholmes - Workin’ Girl Blues lyrics

rate me

I got the early Monday morning workin’ blues<br />

I put on my ragged, worn-out workin’ shoes<br />

Well, the weekend was too short and I can’t lose<br />

‘Cause when the Lord made the workin’ girl, He made the blues<br />

<br />

Well, I’m tired of workin’ my life away<br />

And givin’ somebody else all of my pay<br />

While they get rich on the profits that I lose<br />

And leavin’ me here with those workin’ girl blues<br />

I-dee-o-lady, workin’ girl blues<br />

And I can’t even afford a new pair of shoes<br />

While they can live in any old penthouse they choose<br />

And all that I’ve got is the workin’ girl blues<br />

<br />

Well, the boss says a raise is due most any day<br />

But I wonder will my hair be all turned gray<br />

Before he turns that dollar loose and I get my due<br />

And lose a little bit of these workin’ girl blues
