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 walking out the door
Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more

Well I've been working in this factory, for now fifteen years
And 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 walking out the door
Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more

Well that foreman he's a riggity dog, the line boss he's a fool
He's got 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 walking out the door
Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more
Take this job and shove it
