[00:00:00] Chain Gang - Nina Simone

[00:00:01] Written by：Cooke

[00:00:01] Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

[00:00:05] Breaking rocks and serving my time

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

[00:00:12] Because they done convicted me of crime

[00:00:15] Hold it steady right there while I hit it

[00:00:19] Well reckon that ought to get it

[00:00:22] I've been working and working

[00:00:25] But I still got so terribly far to go

[00:00:29] I commited crime Lord I needed

[00:00:33] Crime of being hungry and poor

[00:00:37] I left the grocery store man bleeding breathing

[00:00:40] When they caught me robbing his store

[00:00:44] Hold it steady right there while I hit it

[00:00:47] Well reckon that's gonna get it

[00:00:50] I've been

[00:00:51] Working and working

[00:00:54] But I still got so terribly far to go

[00:00:58] I heard the judge say five years labor

[00:01:02] On chain gang you gonna go

[00:01:05] I heard the judge say five years labor

[00:01:09] I heard my old man scream

[00:01:11] Lordy no

[00:01:13] Hold it steady right there while I hit it

[00:01:17] Well reckon that ought to get it

[00:01:20] I've been

[00:01:20] Working and working

[00:01:23] But I still got so terribly far to go

[00:02:20] I still got so terribly far to go
