Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang Breakin' rocks and servin' my time Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang ‘cause I been convicted of a crime. Hold it steady right there while I hit it Oh, reckon that ought-a get it Been workin' … I been workin' But, I still got a long way to go I been convicted of the crime, Lord, of needin' Crime of bein' hungry and poor Had-a leave some grocery man bleedin' When he found me robbin' his store. Letras de canciones Hold it steady right there while I hit it … huh! Oh, reckon that ought-a get it Been workin' … I been workin' But, I still got a long way to go I wanna go see my baby I got to break these chains off and run I wanna lay my head where it's shady Lord it sure gets hot in this sun. Hold it steady right there while I hit it … huh! Oh, reckon that ought-a get it Been workin' … I been workin' But, I still got a long way to go Heard a judge say, “Five years labor … To the chain gang you got-a go.” Heard a judge say, “Five years labor.” Heard my woman scream, “Lord, no!” Hold it steady right there while I hit it … huh! Oh, reckon that ought-a get it Been workin' … I been workin' But, I got me so terrible long to go. From Letras Mania
