Work Song (Mono, 2017 Remastered Version) - Nina Simone (妮娜·西蒙)

Written by：Oscar Brown Jr./Nat Adderley

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Breaking rocks and serving my time

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Because been convicted crime

I hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well I reckon that ought to get it

Been

Working and working

But I still got so terribly far to go

I committed crime lord I needed

Crime of being hungry and poor

I left the grocery store man breathing

When they caught me robbing his store

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well I reckon that ought to get it

Been

Working and working

But I still got so terribly far to go

Gonna see my sweet honey baby

Gonna break this chain off to run

Gonna lay down somewhere shady

Lord I sure is hot in the sun

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well I reckon that ought to get it

Been working and working

But I still got so terribly far to go

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Been working and working

But I still got so terribly far to go
