Paroles de 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 I've been convicted of crime Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well I reckon that I ought to get it I'm working I'm working But I still got so terribly far to go I committed crime honey-baby The crime of being hungry and poor I left the grocery store man bleeding When they caught me robbing his store Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well I reckon that I ought to get it I'm 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 'Cause I sho' am hot in the sun Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well I reckon that I ought to get it I'm workin', workin' And I still got so terribly far to go
