[00:01.69] Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
[00:05.81] Breaking rocks and serving my time
[00:08.49]
[00:09.56] Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
[00:13.11]
[00:13.67] Because they done convicted me of crime
[00:16.98]
[00:17.61] Hold it steady right there while I hit it
[00:20.88]
[00:21.57] Well reckon that ought to get it
[00:24.62]
[00:25.12] Been
[00:25.56] Working and working
[00:27.81]
[00:28.37] But I still got so terribly far to go
[00:31.43]
[00:32.99] I commited crime lord I needed
[00:35.97]
[00:36.90] Crime of being hungry and poor
[00:40.02]
[00:40.84] I left the grocery store man bleeding ?breathing? ?
[00:46.02]
[00:46.70] When they caught me robbing his store
[00:49.32] Hold it steady right there while I hit it
[00:52.38]
[00:53.20] Well reckon that ought to get it
[00:56.43] Been
[00:56.69] Working and working
[00:58.43]
[00:59.74] But I still got so terribly far to go
[01:03.52]
[01:34.95] Gonna see my sweet honey bee
[01:38.14]
[01:38.89] Gonna break this chain off to run
[01:41.82]
[01:42.75] Gonna lay down somewhere shady
[01:45.89]
[01:46.89] Lord I sure am hot in the sun
[01:50.08]
[01:50.95] Hold it right there while I hit it
[01:54.18]
[01:55.11] Well reckon that ought to get it
[01:58.54] Been
[01:58.87] Workin and workin
[02:00.21]
[02:01.71] But I still got so terribly far to go
