Chain Gang Blues
Some on the right of way, some on the farm3
Some in the chain gang, buddy, and some gone home.
I used to be a bully jest like you,
And now you see what bull'in' has brought me to.
Wake up, lifetime man, hold up your head,
Well, you may get a pardon and you may drop dead.
Mamma have told me, have come to pass,
Says, "Drinkin' an' gamblin' be your ruin at las'."
Pm lyin' in jail with my back turned to the wall, Thinkin' 'bout my baby, I done lost it all.
If I leave here walking, captain, you'll know Pm free, If I leave here runnin', captain, don't follow me.
If you beat me to the Brazis, to the Brazis line, Captain, I'll be sillum seen, captain, and hard to find.
You boys listen what the caftain said}
ccIf you work well, give you cold com bread,
If you wonyt work, Pll kill you dead" |
