Johnny Cash - Chain Gang Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I was just a kid roamin' around travelin' through a little ol' town
  • A man walked up and said come with me you're broke and son that's vagrancy
  • I carefree lad that love to roam but Lord I wish I'd stayed at home
  • The way it looks I'll prob'ly hang cause there ain't no hope on a chain gang
  • I dig that ditch I chop that corn I curse the day that I was born
  • I believe it's better for a man to hang than to work like a dog on a chain gang
  • [ ac.guitar ]
  • The guard stands there with a great big gun I bet he'd love to see me run
  • And I guess I prob'ly will some day I'd rather be dead than to live this way
  • He's well fed and he's six foot tall and he's a meanest of them all
  • He cracks that whip and he swings that cane the sun must've touched his brain
  • I dig that ditch...
  • [ dobro ]
  • I gat a gal back home that's sweet and kind and she's been waitin' a long long time
  • I just told her to forget my name I won't ever live down to shame
  • Lord deliver me from this hole before I lose my mind and soul
  • The place gets weak and the back gets broke ain't no cause to laugh and joke
  • I dig that ditch...
  • Work like a dog on a chain gang work like a dog on a chain gang
