Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard working girl blues

Select language to translate this lyric

Hey
I got the early Monday morning working blues
I put on my ragged worn out working shoes
Well the weekend was too short but I can choose
When the lord made the working girl, he made the blues
Well I'm tired of working my life way
And givin someone else all of my pay
While they get rich on the profits that I lose
And leaving me here with the working girl blues
I do oh lay eee Working Girl Blues!
And I can't even afford a new pair of shoes
While they can live in any ol penthouse they choose
And all I got is the working girl blues
dobro solo
My boss said a raise is due most any day
Before he turns that dollar loose and I get my dues
And I lose a little bit of these working girl blues
Well I'm tired of working my life way
And givin someone else all of my pay
While they get rich on the profits that I lose
And leaving me here with the working girl blues
I do oh lay eee Working Girl Blues!
And I can't even afford a new pair of shoes
While they can live in any penthouse they choose
And all that I've got is the working girl blues
