Letra de Chain Gang (The Work Song)
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 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 goI commited crime Lord I needed Crime of being hungry and poor I left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?) When they caught me robbing his store Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well reckon that ought to get it Been Working and workingBut I still got so terribly far to goI 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!" Hold it right there while I hit it Well reckon that ought to get it BeenWorking and working But I still got so terribly far to goI'm getting tired and tired and tired and tired and tired and tired Working on the chain gang But they still They tell me I still Even though I'm so tired and tired They tell me I still Got so terribly far to go
