ledisi & metropole orkest - work song كلمات الأغنية

[chorus]
breaking rock out here on the chain gang
breaking rocks and serving my time
breaking rock out here on the chain gang
’cause i’ve been convicted of a crime

[refrain]
hold it steady right there while i hit it
well, i reckon that ought to get it
i’ve been working, working
but i still got so terribly far to go
hey, yeah, yeah

[chorus]
breaking rock out here on the chain gang
breaking rocks and serving my time
breaking rock out here on the chain gang
’cause i’ve been convicted of a crime

[refrain]
hold it steady right there while i hit it
well, i reckon that ought to get it
i’ve been working, i been working
and i still got so terribly far to go

[verse 1]
i committed crime, lord, i needed
crime of being hungry and poor
left the grocery store, man bleeding
when they caught me robbing his store
[refrain]
hold it steady right there while i hit it
well, i reckon that ought to get it
i’ve been working, i’ve been working
and i still got so far to go

[verse 2]
i heard the judge say five years hard labor
on a chain_gang you gotta go
i heard the judge say five years hard labor
i heard my daddy say, “oh, lordy, no”

well, i reckon that ought to get it
i’ve been working, i’ve been working
and i still got so terribly far to go, oh

[verse 3]
wanna see my sweet honey baby
wanna break off these chains and run
wanna lay down somewhere shady
’cause it sure is hot in the sun
[refrain]
hold it steady right there while i hit it
well, i reckon that ought to get it
i been working, i been working
and i still got so far to go

[chorus]
breaking a big rock on the chain gang
breaking rocks and serving my time
breaking rock out here on the chain gang
’cause i’ve been convicted of a crime

[refrain]
hold it steady right there while i hit it
well, i reckon that ought to get it
i been working, i been working
ooh, still got so terribly far to go
i been working, working
ooh, still got so far to go
i been working, working
and i still got, got so terribly far to go
hey, oh
