Uh ho

Uh ho

Uh ho

Uh

Breakin' up big rocks on a chain gang

Uh

Breakin' rocks and servin' my time

Uh

Breakin' up these rocks on a chain gang huh

'Cause I been convicted of a crime

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 so terrible long to go

I been convicted of the crime lord of needin'

Crime of bein' hungry and poor

Leave grocery down man are bleedin'

When he found me robbin' his store

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 so terrible long to go

Uh huh

Uh huh

Uh huh

Uh

Judge say five years hard labor

To the chain gang you got a go

Heard a judge say five years labor

Heard my woman scream Lordy 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 still got so terrible long to go

I wanna see my sweet honey baby

I wanna break these chains off and run

I wanna lay my head where it's shady

Lord knows it's 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 so terrible long to go

But I still got so terrible long to go

But I still got so terrible long to go

Uh

Break up big wrong these chain gang huh

Break reckon them saving my heart

Time

Huh
