《Chain Gang》歌词

[00:00:00] Chain Gang - Johnny Cash

[00:00:07] I was just a kid roamin' around

[00:00:10] Travelin' through a little ol' town

[00:00:14] A man walked up and said come with me

[00:00:17] You're broke and son that's vagrancy

[00:00:20] A carefree lad that love to roam

[00:00:24] But Lord I wish I'd stayed at home

[00:00:27] The way it looks I'll probably hang

[00:00:30] 'Cause there ain't no hope on a chain gang

[00:00:33] I dig that ditch I chop that corn

[00:00:36] I curse the day that I was born

[00:00:40] I believe it's better for a man to hang

[00:00:43] Than to work like a dog on a chain gang

[00:00:53] The guard stands there with a great big gun

[00:00:57] I bet he'd love to see me run

[00:00:59] And I guess I probably will some day

[00:01:03] I'd rather be dead than to live this way

[00:01:06] He's well fed and he's six foot tall

[00:01:10] And he's a meanest of them all

[00:01:13] He cracks that whip and he swings that cane

[00:01:16] That sun must've touched his brain

[00:01:19] I dig that ditch I chop that corn

[00:01:23] I curse the day that I was born

[00:01:26] I believe it's better for a man to hang

[00:01:29] Than to work like a dog on a chain gang

[00:01:46] I got a gal back home that's sweet and kind

[00:01:50] But she's been waitin' a long long time

[00:01:53] I just told her to forget my name

[00:01:56] I won't ever live down the shame

[00:02:00] Lord deliver me from this hole

[00:02:03] Before I lose my mind and soul

[00:02:06] The flesh gets weak and the back gets broke

[00:02:09] There ain't no 'cause to laugh and joke

[00:02:13] I dig that ditch I chop that corn

[00:02:16] I curse the day that I was born

[00:02:19] I believe it's better for a man to hang

[00:02:22] Than to work like a dog on a chain gang

[00:02:26] Work like a dog on a chain gang

[00:02:29] Work like a dog on a chain gang

[00:02:33] Work like a dog on a chain gang
