Chain Gang |
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang |
Breaking rocks and serving my time |
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang |
Because they done convicted me of crime |
Hold it steady right there while I hit it |
Well reckon that ought to get it |
Been |
Working and working |
But I still got so terribly far to go |
I commited crime Lord I needed |
Crime of being hungry and poor |
I left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?) |
When they caught me robbing his store |
Hold it steady right there while I hit it |
Well reckon that ought to get it |
Been |
Working and working |
But I still got so terribly far to go |
I heard the judge say five years |
On chain-gang you gonna go |
I heard the judge say five years labor |
I heard my old man scream «Lordy, no!» |
Hold it right there while I hit it |
Well reckon that ought to get it |
Been |
Working and working |
But I still got so terribly far to go |
I’m getting tired and tired and tired and tired and tired and tired |
working on the chain gang |
but they still |
they tell me I still |
even though I’m so tired and tired |
they tell me I still |
got so terribly far to go |
