Текст David Allan Coe – Take This Job And Shove It

Take this job and shove it
I ain’t workin’ here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin’ for

You better not try to stand in my way
When I’m walkin’ out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain’t workin’ here no more

Well, I’ve been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I’ve seen some of my best friends women
Drownin’ in a pool of tears

I’ve seen a lot of kinfolks dyin’
I had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, I’d give the shirt right often my back
If I had the guts to say, say what?

Take this job and shove it
I ain’t workin’ here no more
My woman’s done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin’ for

You better not try to stand in my way
When I’m walkin’ out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain’t workin’ here no more

The foreman is a regular S.O.B.
And the night boss, he’s a fool
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut
Lord, he really thinks that’s cool

One of these days I’m gonna blow my top
And that’s shockin’, he’s gonna pay it

Take this job and shove it
I ain’t workin’ here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin’ for

You better not try to stand in my way
When I’m walkin’ out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain’t workin’ here no more
Take this job and shove it
