Lyrics Doin' My Time - Johnny Cash

On this old rock pile with a ball and chain
They call me by a number, not a name Lord, Lord
Got to do my time, I got to do my time
With an aching heart on that gal of mine
You can hear my hammer, you can hear my saw
Gonna swing it like John Henry all day long Lord, Lord
Got to do my time, I got to do my time
With an aching heart on that gal of mine
When that old judge looked down at me
Said "I put you in that penitentiary" Lord, Lord
Got to do my time, I got to do my time
With an aching heart on that gal of mine
Well, now it won't be long, just a few more days
They'll let me out of here I'm gonna stay Lord, Lord
With that gal of mine, with that gal of mine
She's waited for me while I've done my time
