I'm Not There movie - Maggie's Farm lyrics

rate me

Song by Stephen Malkmus<br /><br>

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

No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more. <br>

Well, I wake in the morning, <br>

Fold my hands and pray for rain. <br>

I got a head full of ideas <br>

That are drivin' me insane. <br>

It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor. <br>

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

<br>

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more. <br>

No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more. <br>

Well, he hands you a nickel, <br>

He hands you a dime, <br>

He asks you with a grin <br>

If you're havin' a good time, <br>

Then he fines you every time you slam the door. <br>

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more. <br>

<br>

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more. <br>

No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more. <br>

Well, he puts his cigar <br>

Out in your face just for kicks. <br>

His bedroom window <br>

It is made out of bricks. <br>

The National Guard stands around his door. <br>

Ah, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more. <br>

<br>

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more. <br>

No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more. <br>

Well, she talks to all the servants <br>

About man and God and law. <br>

Everybody says <br>

She's the brains behind pa. <br>

She's sixty-eight, but she says she's twenty-four. <br>

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more. <br>

<br>

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

No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more. <br>

Well, I try my best <br>

To be just like I am, <br>

But everybody wants you <br>

To be just like them. <br>

They sing while you slave and I just get bored. <br>

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

<br>
