Chain Gang - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]
I was just a kid roamin' around[00:00:07]
Travelin' through a little ol' town[00:00:10]
A man walked up and said come with me[00:00:14]
You're broke and son that's vagrancy[00:00:17]
A carefree lad that love to roam[00:00:20]
But Lord I wish I'd stayed at home[00:00:24]
The way it looks I'll probably hang[00:00:27]
'Cause there ain't no hope on a chain gang[00:00:30]
I dig that ditch I chop that corn[00:00:33]
I curse the day that I was born[00:00:36]
I believe it's better for a man to hang[00:00:40]
Than to work like a dog on a chain gang[00:00:43]
The guard stands there with a great big gun[00:00:53]
I bet he'd love to see me run[00:00:57]
And I guess I probably will some day[00:00:59]
I'd rather be dead than to live this way[00:01:03]
He's well fed and he's six foot tall[00:01:06]
And he's a meanest of them all[00:01:10]
He cracks that whip and he swings that cane[00:01:13]
That sun must've touched his brain[00:01:16]
I dig that ditch I chop that corn[00:01:19]
I curse the day that I was born[00:01:23]
I believe it's better for a man to hang[00:01:26]
Than to work like a dog on a chain gang[00:01:29]
I got a gal back home that's sweet and kind[00:01:46]
But she's been waitin' a long long time[00:01:50]
I just told her to forget my name[00:01:53]
I won't ever live down the shame[00:01:56]
Lord deliver me from this hole[00:02:00]
Before I lose my mind and soul[00:02:03]
The flesh gets weak and the back gets broke[00:02:06]
There ain't no 'cause to laugh and joke[00:02:09]
I dig that ditch I chop that corn[00:02:13]
I curse the day that I was born[00:02:16]
I believe it's better for a man to hang[00:02:19]
Than to work like a dog on a chain gang[00:02:22]
Work like a dog on a chain gang[00:02:26]
Work like a dog on a chain gang[00:02:29]
Work like a dog on a chain gang[00:02:33]
