lirik lagu johnny cash – chain gang
i was just a kid roamin’ around
travelin’ through, a little ol’ town
a man walked up and said come with me
you’re broke and son that’s vagrancy
a carefree lad that love to roam
but lord i wish i’d stayed at home
the way it looks i’ll probably hang
’cause there ain’t no hope on a chain gang
i dig that ditch, i chop that corn
i curse the day that i was born
i believe it’s better for a man to hang
than to work like a dog on a chain gang
the guard stands there with a great big gun
i bet he’d love to see me run
and i guess, i probably will some day
i’d rather be dead than to live this way
he’s well fed and he’s six foot tall
and he’s a meanest of them all
he cracks that whip and he swings that cane
that sun must’ve touched his brain
i dig that ditch, i chop that corn
i curse the day that i was born
i believe it’s better for a man to hang
than to work like a dog on a chain gang
i got a gal back home that’s sweet and kind
but she’s been waitin’ a long, long time
i just told her to forget my name
i won’t ever live down the shame
lord, deliver me from this hole
before i lose my mind and soul
the flesh gets weak and the back gets broke
there ain’t no ’cause to laugh and joke
i dig that ditch, i chop that corn
i curse the day that i was born
i believe it’s better for a man to hang
than to work like a dog on a chain gang
work like a dog on a chain gang
work like a dog on a chain gang
work like a dog on a chain gang
