Workin' (Work Song) (Remaster) - Joe Williams (乔·威廉)[00:00:00]
Written by:Oscar Brown[00:00:00]
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang[00:00:01]
Breaking rocks and serving my time[00:00:06]
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang[00:00:10]
Because they done convicted me of crime[00:00:14]
Hold it steady right there while I hit it[00:00:17]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:00:22]
Been working and working[00:00:25]
But I still got so terribly far to go[00:00:29]
I committed crime lord I needed[00:00:34]
Crime of being hungry and poor[00:00:39]
I left the grocery store man bleeding[00:00:43]
When they caught me robbing his store[00:00:47]
Hold it steady right there while I hit it[00:00:51]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:00:56]
Been working and working[00:00:58]
But I still got so terribly far to go[00:01:02]
I heard the judge say five years labor[00:01:08]
On chain gang you gonna go[00:01:12]
I heard the judge say five years labor[00:01:16]
I heard my old man scream lordy no[00:01:20]
Hold it steady right there while I hit it[00:01:24]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:01:29]
Been working and working[00:01:32]
But I still got so terribly far to go[00:01:36]
I want see my sweet honey bee[00:01:41]
I want break this chain off to run[00:01:45]
I want lay down somewhere shady[00:01:50]
Lord I sure am hot in the sun[00:01:54]
Hold it right there while I hit it[00:01:58]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:02:03]
Been working and working[00:02:05]
Well I been working and working[00:02:09]
Well I been working and well well well been working[00:02:13]
Well well well I been working[00:02:20]
Oh yes I been working[00:02:24]
