Lyrics Work Song

Breakin' rocks out here on the chain-gang

Breakin' rocks and servin' my time

Breakin' rocks out here on the chain-gang 'cos you done convicted me of crime

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well I reckon that ought to get it

Been workin' and workin' but I still got so terribly far to go

I committed crime

Lord I need You

Crime of bein' hungry and poor

I left the grocery store man breathin' when they caught me robbin' his store

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well I reckon that ought to get it

Been workin' and workin' but I still got so terribly far to go

I heard the judge say

Five years on the 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 I reckon that ought to get it

Been workin' and workin' but I still got so terribly far to go

Gonna see my sweet honey babe

Gonna break this chain off to run

I'm gonna lay down somewhere shady

Lord I sure I'm hot in the sun

Hold it right there while I hit it

Well I reckon that ought to get it

Been workin' and workin'

Mmh workin' and a-slavin'

And workin' and workin' but I still got so terribly far to go
