[Verse]
AMary got a new job workin’ on a line
Help to make the automobE7iles
E7It wasn’t very long ‘til the job was goin’ fine
And she liked the way it made her Afeel
AIt gave her independence To pull into the lot
And pull her heavy work clothes Don
She liked her indeDpendence
She Aliked her new friends
And her E7favorite was a man named JAohn

[Verse]
AJohn was like a brother workin’ at her side
And they both came on the job the same E7day
ALearned the job together How the ropes were Etied
Went Dtogether down to draw their first Apay
AOpened up his packet Johnny dropped his cash
Money was all over the Dfloor
Mary saw the money ASaw to her surprise
E7Johnny had a whole lot Amore
[Chorus]

And she said
A“Who’s been matchin’ you sweat for sweat
Who’s been workin’ on the E7line
E7Who’s been earnin’ what she ain’t got yet
All I want is what’s Amine
AI’ve got eyes and hands and a back like yours
And I use ‘em hard the whole Dday
I sAtand here workin’ just as hard as you do
And I want E7my equal Apay”

[Verse]
AJohnny was a good man and Mary knew that
Taught to think of women as EqueeE7ns
E7Now here stood Mary in a yellow hard hat
And her broken down faded blue Ajeans
AHe liked her more than anybody he knew
When he was close to understanding Dwhy
DShe didn’t cuss or spit
She didn’t raise her Avoice
She lookeE7d him straight in the eye
[Chorus]

And I use ‘em hard the whole Dday
I sAtand here workin’ just as hard as you do
And I want E7my equal Apay”
And I want E7my E. R. AA.”
