He was black and handsome
And might might brave
Comin' from the backwoods
The grandson of a slave
He was caught for something
They knew he'd never done
And was diggin' ditches
Out in the burnin' sun
Walkin' on a chain gang-No More
Walking on a chain gang-No More
Man he was a giant
And iron he could bend
And he swore he'd fight them
Down to the bitter end
Though he was no talker
His burnin' eyes would say
You may keep on tryin'
You can't hold me no way
Walkin' on a chain gang-No More
Walking on a chain gang-No More
And might might brave
Comin' from the backwoods
The grandson of a slave
He was caught for something
They knew he'd never done
And was diggin' ditches
Out in the burnin' sun
Walkin' on a chain gang-No More
Walking on a chain gang-No More
Man he was a giant
And iron he could bend
And he swore he'd fight them
Down to the bitter end
Though he was no talker
His burnin' eyes would say
You may keep on tryin'
You can't hold me no way
Walkin' on a chain gang-No More
Walking on a chain gang-No More
