Chain Gang - Nina Simone[00:00:00]

Written by：Cooke[00:00:01]

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang[00:00:01]

Breaking rocks and serving my time[00:00:05]

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang[00:00:08]

Because they done convicted me of crime[00:00:12]

Hold it steady right there while I hit it[00:00:15]

Well reckon that ought to get it[00:00:19]

I've been working and working[00:00:22]

But I still got so terribly far to go[00:00:25]

I commited crime Lord I needed[00:00:29]

Crime of being hungry and poor[00:00:33]

I left the grocery store man bleeding breathing[00:00:37]

When they caught me robbing his store[00:00:40]

Hold it steady right there while I hit it[00:00:44]

Well reckon that's gonna get it[00:00:47]

I've been[00:00:50]

Working and working[00:00:51]

But I still got so terribly far to go[00:00:54]

I heard the judge say five years labor[00:00:58]

On chain gang you gonna go[00:01:02]

I heard the judge say five years labor[00:01:05]

I heard my old man scream[00:01:09]

Lordy no[00:01:11]

Hold it steady right there while I hit it[00:01:13]

Well reckon that ought to get it[00:01:17]

I've been[00:01:20]

Working and working[00:01:20]

But I still got so terribly far to go[00:01:23]

I still got so terribly far to go[00:02:20]
