I got the early Monday morning workin blues
I put on my ragged, worn-out workin shoes
Well, the weekend was too short and I cant lose
Cause when the Lord made the workin girl, He made the blues
Well, Im tired of workin my life away
And givin somebody else all of my pay
While they get rich on the profits that I lose
And leavin me here with those workin girl blues
I-dee-o-lady, workin girl blues
And I cant even afford a new pair of shoes
While they can live in any old penthouse they choose
And all that Ive got is the workin girl blues
Well, the boss says a raise is due most any day
But I wonder will my hair be all turned gray
Before he turns that dollar loose and I get my due
And lose a little bit of these workin girl blues
I put on my ragged, worn-out workin shoes
Well, the weekend was too short and I cant lose
Cause when the Lord made the workin girl, He made the blues
Well, Im tired of workin my life away
And givin somebody else all of my pay
While they get rich on the profits that I lose
And leavin me here with those workin girl blues
I-dee-o-lady, workin girl blues
And I cant even afford a new pair of shoes
While they can live in any old penthouse they choose
And all that Ive got is the workin girl blues
Well, the boss says a raise is due most any day
But I wonder will my hair be all turned gray
Before he turns that dollar loose and I get my due
And lose a little bit of these workin girl blues
