Текст песни Work Song (Live) - Bobby Darin



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.
Captain told me, You got to watch your behavior
If you're gonna work just like a natural born man.
I told the captain, You′d be meetin′ your Savior
You come on close to this hammer in my hand.
Hold him steady right there while I hit him huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get him
Been workin' I been workin′
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
I wanna see my sweet, honey baby
I got to break these chains off and run
I wanna lay my head where it's shady
Lord knows it′s hot in this sun.
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
See I been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go
You know I got me so terrible long to go
Lord I got me so damn long to go!
