Work Song

공유하기
Breakin' up big rocks on
uh chain gang,
breakin' rocks an'
servin' my time.
Breakin' rocks ou'
here on the chain gang
'cause I been
convicted o' crime.
Hol' it steady right there
while I hit it.
There I reckon
that oughtta git it.
Been workin' an' workin',
but I still got
so terrible long to go.

I commit the crime,
Lawd o' needin' crime
o' bein' hungry and poor.
Left the grocer store man
a' bleedin',
when he caught me
robbin' his store.
Hol' it steady right there
while I hit it.
There I recko
that oughtta git it.
Been workin' an' workin',
but I still got
so terrible long to go.

Judge he say,
"Five years hard labor,
on the chain gang
you goin' t' go."
Heard the judge say
"Five years o' labor."
Heard my old man scream
"Lawdy, no!"
Hol' it steady right there
while I hit it.
There I reckon
that oughtta git it.
Been workin' an' workin',
but I still got
so terrible long to go.

Wanna see my sweet honey baby,
wanna break this
chain off an' run.
wanna lay down somewhere
it's shady, Lawd,
it sure is hot in the sun.
Hol' it steady right there
while I hit it.
There I reckon
that oughtta git it.
Been workin' an' workin',
but I still got
so terrible long to go.
