Take This Job and Shove It

Take this job and shove it

I ain't working here no more

My woman done left

And took all the reasons I was working for

You better not try to stand in my way

As I'm a-walking out the door

Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more

I've been working in this factory

For now 15 years

All this time I watched my woman

Drowning in a pool of tears

And I've seen a lot of good folks die

That had a lot of bills to pay

I'd give the shirt right off my back

If I had the guts to say

Take this job and shove it

I ain't working here no more

My woman done left

And took all the reasons I was working for

You better not try to stand in my way

As I'm a-walking out the door

Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more

Well, the foreman he's a riggity dog

The line boss, he's a fool

He has got a brand-new flattop hair cut

Lord, he thinks he's cool

One of these days, I'm gonna blow my top

And that sucker, he's gonna pay

Lord, I can't wait to see their faces

When I get the nerve to say

Take this job and shove it

I ain't working here no more

My woman done left

And took all the reasons I was working for

You better not try to stand in my way

As I'm a-walking out the door

Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more

Take this job and shove it
