bobby darin – work song lyrics

Loading...

go down hannah go down
and stay down

breakin’ up these rocks on-a chain gang
breakin’ rocks and servin’ my time
breakin’ up these rocks on-a chain gang
cause i been convicted of a crime.

hold it steady right there while i hit it huh!
oh, reckon that ought-a get it
been workin’ i been workin’
but, i got me so terrible long to go.

i been convicted of the crime, lord, of needin’
crime of bein’ hungry and poor
had-a leave some grocery man bleedin’
when he found me robbin’ his store.
hold it steady right there while i hit it huh!
oh, reckon that ought-a get it
been workin’ i been workin’
but, i got me so terrible long to go.

heard a judge say, five years labor
to the chain gang you got-a go.

heard a judge say, five years labor.
heard my woman scream, lordy, no!
hold it steady right there while i hit it huh!
oh, reckon that ought-a get it
been workin’ i been workin’
but, i got me so terrible long to go.

captain told me, you got to watch your behavior
if you’re gonna work just like a natural born man.
i told the captain, you’d be meetin’ your savior
you come on close to this hammer in my hand.

hold him steady right there while i hit him huh!
oh, reckon that ought-a get him
been workin’ i been workin’
but, i got me so terrible long to go.

i wanna see my sweet, honey baby
i got to break these chains off and run
i wanna lay my head where it’s shady
lord knows it’s hot in this sun.
hold it steady right there while i hit it huh!
oh, reckon that ought-a get it
been workin’ i been workin’
but, i got me so terrible long to go

see i been workin’ i been workin’
but, i got me so terrible long to go
you know i got me so terrible long to go
lord i got me so d-mn long to go!
