Pick me up take me down put me six feet in the ground There's no need to grieve just a couple more shovel fulls then you can leave You know I was born a poor man's son but picking that cotton didn't look too fun So when a train came down the railroad track I hopped on board and I didn't look back I got a face that's leathered and scarred And a heart that screams when it's pushed too far So one night you know it came to blood while playing a game of five card stud I had to roam this land town to town From north Carolina down to south Louisiann Lying and cheating is how I got by and I did my talking with a 45 Yeah the things I've done they put me in a hole The devils come here to take my soul Spent my life sitting in jail gonna spend the rest rotting in hell I kept on running around and around And when I finally hit the bottom I didn't make a sound Now the sky is black but my mind is clear And I'm looking for a hand to pull me out of here Then I fell In love with a Chinese whore Letras de cancionesShe was fresh off the boat from Singapore Caught that woman with another man And I sent em both on to the promise land Chain gang chain gang don't you know the sound Chain gang chain gang when Jesus ain't around (Thanks to Shad for these lyrics) From Letras Mania
