I Work Down On The Chain Gang (Live) - Lightning Hopkins[00:00:00]
Written by:Sam Lightn[00:00:02]
Yeah you know I worked on the railroad[00:00:08]
I even worked down on that chain gang[00:00:13]
Yeah you know I worked on the railroad[00:00:23]
Oh boy and I worked down on the chain gang[00:00:29]
Yeah you know I've been in a lots of trouble[00:00:37]
Yes and I've been in mostly everything[00:00:43]
Yeah they put me in jail when it was raining[00:00:51]
Honey that was the best for me[00:00:59]
Throwed me in the jail when it was raining[00:01:07]
Honey and that is the best for me[00:01:12]
You know the jail kept me from getting wet[00:01:19]
I didn't have no place to stay don't you see[00:01:24]
When I workin' on the chain gang[00:01:34]
Ball and chain all around my leg[00:01:42]
I was workin' on the chain gang[00:01:50]
Ball and chain all around my leg[00:01:55]
I said please don't drive me too hard I'm an old man[00:02:02]
They say we don't pay no attention to the age[00:02:07]
He said who sent you down here boy[00:02:17]
What did you break in this jail for[00:02:22]
Who sent you down here boy[00:02:30]
What did you break in this jail for[00:02:35]
He say you look like a man would kill your mother[00:02:44]
And I believe he did[00:02:46]
Oh boy what did you kill that old woman for[00:02:49]
A sad time and I had to cry[00:02:54]
I said mmmmmmm mister jailer[00:03:38]
Will you please sir bring me the key[00:03:47]
I said mmmmmmm mister jailer[00:03:56]
Will you please sir bring me the key[00:04:03]
I says I just want you to open the door[00:04:11]
'Cause this ain't no place for me[00:04:16]
