Song Lyrics
Because they done convicted me of crime, been working and working
Hold it right there while i hit it, i heard my old man scream lordy, lord i sure am hot in the sun
Well i reckon that ought to get it, i heard the judge say five years labor
Well i reckon that ought to get it, on chain-gang you gonna go Song, i heard the judge say five years labor
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang, i heard my old man scream lordy
Lord i sure am hot in the sun, working and working
Hold it right there while i hit it, and working and working, i heard my old man scream lordy
Hold it steady right there while i hit it, but i still got so terribly far to go, gonna break this chain off to run
Been working and working, hold it right there while i hit it
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang, gonna break this chain off to run
Working and working, gonna lay down somewhere shady Work, but i still got so terribly far to go
But i still got so terribly far to go, gonna lay down somewhere shady
Gonna see my sweet honey bee, but i still got so terribly far to go
working and working
Crime of being hungry and poor, i heard the judge say five years
Been working and working, i heard my old man scream lordy Song, i left the grocery store man bleeding breathing?
well i reckon that ought to get it
but i still got so terribly far to go
Been working and slaving, well i reckon that ought to get it
And working and working, when they caught me robbing his store, been working and slaving
Hold it steady right there while i hit it, but i still got so terribly far to go
But i still got so terribly far to go, when they caught me robbing his store
hold it steady right there while i hit it
Hold it right there while i hit it, i heard my old man scream lordy
Hold it steady right there while i hit it, been working and slaving
Hold it steady right there while i hit it, hold it right there while i hit it, i heard the judge say five years
Working and working, i commited crime lord
Working and working, hold it steady right there while i hit it
gonna lay down somewhere shady
well i reckon that ought to get it
but i still got so terribly far to go
Lord i sure am hot in the sun, breaking rocks and serving my time, hold it steady right there while i hit it
on chain-gang you gonna go
I commited crime lord, been working and working, but i still got so terribly far to go
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang, crime of being hungry and poor
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang, i left the grocery store man bleeding breathing? Nina, breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Been working and working, because they done convicted me of crime Nina, i heard the judge say five years labor
I heard the judge say five years, breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
gonna break this chain off to run
I heard the judge say five years, breaking rocks out here on the chain gang Simone, but i still got so terribly far to go
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang, hold it right there while i hit it, working and working
working and working
working and working
Breaking rocks and serving my time, been working and working
