Work Song - Oscar Brown, Jr.[00:00:00]
Breaking up big rocks on the chain gang[00:00:01]
Breaking rocks and serving my time[00:00:04]
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang[00:00:08]
'Cause they convicted me of crime[00:00:11]
Hold it steady right there while I hit it[00:00:14]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:00:18]
Been workin' and workin'[00:00:20]
But I still got so terribly long to go[00:00:23]
I committed crime[00:00:28]
Lord I needed[00:00:29]
Crime of bein' hungry and poor[00:00:31]
I left the grocery store man bleeding[00:00:34]
When they caught me robbin' his store[00:00:38]
Hold it steady right there while I hit it[00:00:41]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:00:45]
Been workin' and workin'[00:00:47]
But I still got so terribly long to go[00:00:50]
And judges say five years hard labor[00:00:55]
On chain-gang you gonna go[00:00:58]
I heard the judge say five years labor[00:01:01]
I heard my old man scream[00:01:05]
Lordy no[00:01:06]
Hold it steady right there while I hit it[00:01:08]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:01:12]
Been workin' and workin'[00:01:14]
But I still got so terribly long to go[00:01:17]
I wanna see my sweet honey baby[00:01:49]
I wanna break this chain off to run[00:01:53]
I wanna lay down somewhere shady[00:01:56]
Lord I sure it's hot in the sun[00:02:00]
Hold it right there while I hit it[00:02:03]
Well reckon that ought to get it[00:02:07]
Been workin' and workin'[00:02:09]
But I still got so terribly long to go[00:02:12]
Breaking up big rocks on the chain gang[00:02:17]
Breaking rocks and serving my time[00:02:25]
