Go down Âu0085 Hannah go down
And stay down Âu0085
Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang
Breakin' rocks and servin' my time
Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang
Âcause I been convicted of a crime.
Hold it steady right there while I hit it Âu0085 huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' Âu0085 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 Âu0085 huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' Âu0085 I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
Heard a judge say, ÂFive years labor Âu0085
To the chain gang you got-a go.Â
Heard a judge say, ÂFive years labor.Â
Heard my woman scream, ÂLordy, no!Â
Hold it steady right there while I hit it Âu0085 huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' Âu0085 I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
Captain told me, ÂYou got to watch your behavior Âu0085
If you're gonna work just like a natural born man.Â
I told the captain, ÂYou'd be meetin' your Savior Âu0085
You come on close to this hammer in my hand.Â
Hold him steady right there while I hit him Âu0085 huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get him
Been workin' Âu0085 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 Âu0085 huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' Âu0085 I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go Âu0085
See I been workin' Âu0085 I been workin' Âu0085
But, I got me so terrible long to go Âu0085
You know I got me so terrible long to go Âu0085
Lord Âu0085 I got me so damn long to go!
