Song Lyrics

and working and working
lord i sure am hot in the sun
But i still got so terribly far to go, well i reckon that ought to get it
Working and working, well i reckon that ought to get it
Working and working, because they done convicted me of crime

hold it steady right there while i hit it
Working and working, i commited crime lord
been working and working
And working and working, and working and working Work, been working and working
Hold it right there while i hit it, gonna see my sweet honey bee

Well i reckon that ought to get it, working and working
Well i reckon that ought to get it, i heard the judge say five years
Gonna break this chain off to run, but i still got so terribly far to go
Because they done convicted me of crime, but i still got so terribly far to go, i commited crime lord
gonna break this chain off to run

i heard the judge say five years
Been working and working, well i reckon that ought to get it, i heard the judge say five years labor
Well i reckon that ought to get it, because they done convicted me of crime Nat, i heard the judge say five years
but i still got so terribly far to go
Working and working, i heard my old man scream lordy Song, i heard my old man scream lordy

And working and working, breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
I heard my old man scream lordy, working and working, gonna break this chain off to run
Hold it right there while i hit it, well i reckon that ought to get it
because they done convicted me of crime
On chain-gang you gonna go, on chain-gang you gonna go Nat, because they done convicted me of crime

On chain-gang you gonna go, i commited crime lord
and working and working
hold it steady right there while i hit it
working and working
Well i reckon that ought to get it, i heard the judge say five years

on chain-gang you gonna go
well i reckon that ought to get it
Gonna lay down somewhere shady, when they caught me robbing his store, working and working
but i still got so terribly far to go
hold it steady right there while i hit it

been working and slaving
Hold it steady right there while i hit it, well i reckon that ought to get it, but i still got so terribly far to go
Gonna lay down somewhere shady, well i reckon that ought to get it Song, but i still got so terribly far to go
working and working
Working and working, but i still got so terribly far to go, i heard the judge say five years labor

well i reckon that ought to get it
I heard the judge say five years labor, hold it steady right there while i hit it
been working and working
Hold it right there while i hit it, breaking rocks out here on the chain gang, i heard my old man scream lordy
Hold it steady right there while i hit it, i heard the judge say five years

I heard the judge say five years labor, breaking rocks out here on the chain gang, i left the grocery store man bleeding breathing?
Breaking rocks and serving my time, hold it steady right there while i hit it
Hold it steady right there while i hit it, working and working, well i reckon that ought to get it
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang, on chain-gang you gonna go
I commited crime lord, well i reckon that ought to get it Nat, but i still got so terribly far to go

i heard the judge say five years labor
