- Johnny Cash Chain Gang 歌詞
- Howard Johnny Cash
- I was just a kid roamin around
Travelin through a little ol town A man walked up and said come with me Youre broke and son thats vagrancy A carefree lad that love to roam But Lord I wish Id stayed at home The way it looks Ill probably hang Cause there aint no hope on a chain gang I dig that ditch I chop that corn I curse the day that I was born I believe its better for a man to hang Than to work like a dog on a chain gang The guard stands there with a great big gun I bet hed love to see me run And I guess I probably will some day Id rather be dead than to live this way Hes well fed and hes six foot tall And hes a meanest of them all He cracks that whip and he swings that cane That sun mustve touched his brain I dig that ditch I chop that corn I curse the day that I was born I believe its better for a man to hang Than to work like a dog on a chain gang I got a gal back home thats sweet and kind But shes been waitin a long long time I just told her to forget my name I wont ever live down the shame Lord deliver me from this hole Before I lose my mind and soul The flesh gets weak and the back gets broke There aint no cause to laugh and joke I dig that ditch I chop that corn I curse the day that I was born I believe its better for a man to hang Than to work like a dog on a chain gang Work like a dog on a chain gang Work like a dog on a chain gang Work like a dog on a chain gang
