Breaking rock out here on the chain gang Breaking rocks and serving my time Breaking rock out here on the chain gang 'Cause I’ve been convicted of a crime Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well, I reckon that ought to get it I've been working, working But I still got so terribly far to go Hey, yeah, yeah Breaking rock out here on the chain gang Breaking rocks and serving my time Breaking rock out here on the chain gang 'Cause I’ve been convicted of a crime Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well, I reckon that ought to get it I've been working, I been working And I still got so terribly far to go I committed crime, Lord, I needed Crime of being hungry and poor Left the grocery store, man bleeding When they caught me robbing his store Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well, I reckon that ought to get it I've been working, I've been working And I still got so far to go I heard the judge say five years hard labor On a chain-gang you gotta go I heard the judge say five years hard labor I heard my daddy say, "Oh, Lordy, no" Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well, I reckon that ought to get it I've been working, I've been working And I still got so terribly far to go, oh Wanna see my sweet honey baby Wanna break off these chains and run Wanna lay down somewhere shady 'Cause it sure is hot in the sun Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well, I reckon that ought to get it I been working, I been working And I still got so far to go Breaking a big rock on the chain gang Breaking rocks and serving my time Breaking rock out here on the chain gang 'Cause I’ve been convicted of a crime Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well, I reckon that ought to get it I been working, I been working Ooh, still got so terribly far to go I been working, working Ooh, still got so far to go I been working, working And I still got, got so terribly far to go Hey, oh
