Chain Gang (The Work Song) - Nina Simone (妮娜·西蒙)[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]
