Lyrics
Gonna see my sweet honey bee, when they caught me robbing his store, on chain-gang you gonna go
Gonna break this chain off to run, hold it right there while i hit it, but i still got so terribly far to go
Crime of being hungry and poor, on chain-gang you gonna go Nina, working and working
but i still got so terribly far to go
But i still got so terribly far to go, well i reckon that ought to get it
When they caught me robbing his store, i commited crime lord Nina, gonna break this chain off to run
Hold it steady right there while i hit it, hold it steady right there while i hit it
Well i reckon that ought to get it, and working and working
lord i sure am hot in the sun
But i still got so terribly far to go, hold it steady right there while i hit it, working and working
When they caught me robbing his store, hold it steady right there while i hit it
Well i reckon that ought to get it, hold it steady right there while i hit it, on chain-gang you gonna go
When they caught me robbing his store, well i reckon that ought to get it Nina, hold it right there while i hit it
But i still got so terribly far to go, but i still got so terribly far to go
well i reckon that ought to get it
hold it steady right there while i hit it
But i still got so terribly far to go, breaking rocks out here on the chain gang, gonna see my sweet honey bee
been working and working
breaking rocks and serving my time
Breaking rocks and serving my time, been working and slaving, but i still got so terribly far to go
but i still got so terribly far to go
Well i reckon that ought to get it, i commited crime lord
but i still got so terribly far to go
Well i reckon that ought to get it, but i still got so terribly far to go, hold it right there while i hit it
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang, i heard my old man scream lordy Nina, crime of being hungry and poor
Hold it steady right there while i hit it, lord i sure am hot in the sun, but i still got so terribly far to go
i heard the judge say five years
Gonna lay down somewhere shady, i heard my old man scream lordy, and working and working
Hold it right there while i hit it, working and working, but i still got so terribly far to go
Been working and working, but i still got so terribly far to go
well i reckon that ought to get it
Gonna lay down somewhere shady, breaking rocks and serving my time, lord i sure am hot in the sun
Hold it steady right there while i hit it, well i reckon that ought to get it
But i still got so terribly far to go, hold it steady right there while i hit it
I heard my old man scream lordy, well i reckon that ought to get it
hold it steady right there while i hit it
Gonna lay down somewhere shady, gonna lay down somewhere shady, because they done convicted me of crime
on chain-gang you gonna go
