No More Chain Gang |
| He was black and handsome |
| And might might brave |
| Comin' from the backwoods |
| The grandson of a slave |
| He was caught for something |
| They knew he’d never done |
| And was diggin' ditches |
| Out in the burnin' sun |
| Walkin' on a chain gang-No More |
| Walking on a chain gang-No More |
| Man he was a giant |
| And iron he could bend |
| And he swore he’d fight them |
| Down to the bitter end |
| Though he was no talker |
| His burnin' eyes would say |
| You may keep on tryin' |
| You can’t hold me no way |
| Walkin' on a chain gang-No More |
| Walking on a chain gang-No More |
| Then one night he lay in waiting |
| Hit the guard and took the key |
| And before the others caught him |
| He jumped out and he was free |
| He jumped out and he was free |
| He made for the swamp lands |
| It seemed a hopeless duel |
| They had dogs and shotguns |
| And they were mighty cruel |
| But they couldn’t find him |
| He was too smart and strong |
| Hiding' in the daytime |
| He wandered all night long |
| Walkin' on a chain gang-No More |
| Walking on a chain gang-No More |
