Johnny Paycheck - Take This Job And Shove It (Audio)

Thank you, my friend CPL Dave Hoover for sharing the audio recording of Johnny Paycheck performing a cover of David Allan Coe's song "Take This Job And Shove It"

"Take This Job And Shove It" written by David Allan Coe
Lyrics
"Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all the reasons
I was working for
Ya better not try to stand in my way
As I'm walkin', out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more

I been working in this factory
For nigh on fifteen years
All this time I watched my woman
Drownin' in a pool of tears
And I've seen a lot of good folk die
Who had a lot of bills to pay
I'd give the shirt right off of my back
If I had the guts to say

Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all the reasons
I was working for
Ya better not try to stand in my way
As I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more

Well, that foreman, he's a regular dog
The line boss, he's a fool
He got a brand new flat top haircut
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 workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all the reasons
I was working for
Ya better not try to stand in my way
As 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"

We always played this at the party of someone retiring (and laughed about it).

Great tune !
