#ThursdayFiveList #WorkWork
[EDIT: Scrolling through all the other lists (I'm a little behind), I see lots of duplicates for some of my songs, so I'm going to switch those out.]
1. Mule Skinner Blues / Dolly Parton
I was totally captured by this song when I first heard it years ago. Love Dolly so much.
"Well I've been working down in Georgia
At a greasy spoon café hey hey
(I been workin' in Georgia)
Just to let a no good man
Draw every cent of my pay hey hey
And I'm sick of it
I wanna be a mule skinner"

2. Raspberry Beret / Prince
I love this song too. It's so funny, esp his description of his work.
"I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
'Cause I was a bit too leisurely
Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door"

3. Work to Do / Average White Band

4. Tangled up in Blue / Bob Dylan
"I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the ax just fell
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I was lucky enough to be employed
Working for a while on a fishing boat
Right outside of Delacroix"

"I can't work any harder than I do."
