Work Song (Album Version) - Nina Simone[00:00:00]
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang[00:00:08]
Breaking rocks and serving my time[00:00:12]
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang[00:00:16]
Because they done convicted me of crime[00:00:20]
Hold it steady right there while I hit it[00:00:24]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:00:28]
Been[00:00:30]
Working and working[00:00:31]
But I still got so terribly far to go[00:00:34]
I commited crime lord I needed[00:00:39]
Crime of being hungry and poor[00:00:43]
I left the grocery store man bleeding[00:00:46]
When they caught me robbing his store[00:00:50]
Hold it steady right there while I hit it[00:00:54]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:00:58]
Been[00:01:01]
Working and working[00:01:01]
But I still got so terribly far to go[00:01:05]
I heard the judge say five years[00:01:09]
On chain-gang you gonna go[00:01:13]
I heard the judge say five years labor[00:01:17]
I heard my old man scream lordy no [00:01:21]
Hold it right there while I hit it[00:01:25]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:01:29]
Been[00:01:32]
Working and working[00:01:32]
But I still got so terribly far to go[00:01:35]
Gonna see my sweet honey bee[00:02:11]
Gonna break this chain off to run[00:02:15]
Gonna lay down somewhere shady[00:02:19]
Lord I sure am hot in the sun[00:02:23]
Hold it right there while I hit it[00:02:26]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:02:31]
Been[00:02:34]
Workin and workin[00:02:34]
Workin and slavin[00:02:38]
And[00:02:41]
Workin and workin[00:02:42]
But I still got so terribly far to go[00:02:45]
