Sammy Kershaw Lyrics
"National Working Woman's Holiday"

(Roger Murrah - Pat Terry - James D. Hicks)

They oughta run your picture in a magazine
'Cause you're the hardest working woman I've ever seen
If we weren't sinkin' in a river of debt
I'd say, "Quit that job and let 'em do it theirself."
I know we're depending on every dime
But I'm tired of you working that overtime.

I'm gonna tell somebody
There ought to be a law against working that way
Tell 'em you're taking off this Friday
For the National Working Woman's Holiday.

--- Instrumental ---

Honey, I can tell you're feeling the strain
You deserve a break from that ball and chain
If the union won't say it, then it's up to me
They're just taking advantage of your loyalty
Everybody likes a little time and a half
But we both know you're worth more than that.

I'm gonna tell somebody
There ought to be a law against working that way
Tell 'em you're taking off this Friday
For the National Working Woman's Holiday.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll call in sick
And I'll be telling the truth
'Cause I'm sick and tired
Of how they're treating you.

I'm gonna tell somebody
There ought to be a law against working that way
Tell 'em you're taking off this Friday
For the National Working Woman's Holiday.

I'm gonna tell somebody
There ought to be a law against working that way
Tell 'em you're taking off this Friday
For the National Working Woman's Holiday...
