๐ Lyrics
Go down Hannah go down
And stay down
Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang
Breakin' rocks and servin' my time
Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang
cause I been convicted of a crime.
Hold it steady right there while I hit it huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
I been convicted of the crime, Lord, of needin'
Crime of bein' hungry and poor
Had-a leave some grocery man bleedin'
When he found me robbin' his store.
Hold it steady right there while I hit it huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
Heard a judge say, Five years labor
To the chain gang you got-a go.
Heard a judge say, Five years labor.
Heard my woman scream, Lordy, no!
Hold it steady right there while I hit it huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
Captain told me, You got to watch your behavior
If you're gonna work just like a natural born man.
I told the captain, You'd be meetin' your Savior
You come on close to this hammer in my hand.
Hold him steady right there while I hit him huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get him
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
I wanna see my sweet, honey baby
I got to break these chains off and run
I wanna lay my head where it's shady
Lord knows it's hot in this sun.
Hold it steady right there while I hit it huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go
See I been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go
You know I got me so terrible long to go
Lord I got me so damn long to go!
And stay down
Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang
Breakin' rocks and servin' my time
Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang
cause I been convicted of a crime.
Hold it steady right there while I hit it huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
I been convicted of the crime, Lord, of needin'
Crime of bein' hungry and poor
Had-a leave some grocery man bleedin'
When he found me robbin' his store.
Hold it steady right there while I hit it huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
Heard a judge say, Five years labor
To the chain gang you got-a go.
Heard a judge say, Five years labor.
Heard my woman scream, Lordy, no!
Hold it steady right there while I hit it huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
Captain told me, You got to watch your behavior
If you're gonna work just like a natural born man.
I told the captain, You'd be meetin' your Savior
You come on close to this hammer in my hand.
Hold him steady right there while I hit him huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get him
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
I wanna see my sweet, honey baby
I got to break these chains off and run
I wanna lay my head where it's shady
Lord knows it's hot in this sun.
Hold it steady right there while I hit it huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go
See I been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go
You know I got me so terrible long to go
Lord I got me so damn long to go!
