lirik lagu nina simone - work song
breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
breaking rocks and serving my time
breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
because they done convicted me of crime
hold it steady right there while i hit it
well, reckon that ought to get it
been working and working
but i still got so terribly far to go
i committed crime lord i needed
crime of being hungry and poor
i left the grocery store man breathing
when they caught me robbing his store
hold it steady right there while i hit it
well, reckon that ought to get it
been working and working
but i still got so terribly far to go
i heard the judge say five years
on chain-gang you gonna go
i heard the judge say five years labor
i heard my old man scream lordy, no!
hold it right there while i hit it
well, reckon that ought to get it
been working and working
but i still got so terribly far to go
gonna see my sweet honey bee
gonna break this chain off to run
i’m gonna lay down somewhere shady
lord, i sure am hot in the sun
hold it right there while i hit it
well, reckon that ought to get it
been workin’ and workin’
been workin’ and slavin’
an’ workin’ and workin’
but i still got so terribly far to go
