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
[Chorus] 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 committed crime, Lord, I needed Crime of being hungry and poor I left the grocery store man bleeding When they caught me robbing his store
[Chorus]
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!"
[Chorus]
Gonna see my sweet honey bee Gonna break this chain off to run Gonna lay down somewhere shady Lord, I sure am hot in the sun
Hold it right there while I hit it Well reckon that ought to get it Been workin' and workin' Been workin' and slavin' And workin' and workin' But I still got so terribly far to go Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa. |
