Cherryholmes - Workin’ Girl Blues lyrics
rate meI 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
