[00:00:00] Written by：Nat Adderley/Oscar Brown/ Jr.

[00:00:08] Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

[00:00:12] Breaking rocks and serving my time

[00:00:16] Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

[00:00:20] Because they done convicted me of crime

[00:00:24] Hold it steady right there while I hit it

[00:00:28] Well reckon that ought to get it

[00:00:31] Been

[00:00:32] Working and working

[00:00:34] But I still got so terribly far to go

[00:00:38] I commited crime lord I needed

[00:00:43] Crime of being hungry and poor

[00:00:46] I left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing )

[00:00:51] When they caught me robbing his store

[00:00:54] Hold it steady right there while I hit it

[00:00:58] Well reckon that ought to get it

[00:01:01] Been

[00:01:02] Working and working

[00:01:05] But I still got so terribly far to go

[00:01:09] I heard the judge say five years

[00:01:13] On chain-gang you gonna go

[00:01:17] I heard the judge say five years labor

[00:01:21] I heard my old man scream lordy no

[00:01:25] Hold it right there while I hit it

[00:01:29] Well reckon that ought to get it

[00:01:32] Been

[00:01:32] Working and working

[00:01:35] But I still got so terribly far to go

[00:02:11] Gonna see my sweet honey bee

[00:02:15] Gonna break this chain off to run

[00:02:19] Gonna lay down somewhere shady

[00:02:23] Lord I sure am hot in the sun

[00:02:26] Hold it right there while I hit it

[00:02:31] Well reckon that ought to get it

[00:02:34] Been

[00:02:34] Workin and workin

[00:02:37] Been

[00:02:38] Workin and slavin

[00:02:41] An

[00:02:42] Workin and workin

[00:02:45] But I still got so terribly far to go
