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
