Bobby Scott 168 Chain Gang Lyrics

They put me on the chain gang
Chain gang, chain gang
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day
They put me on the chain gang
Chain gang, chain gang
Slavin' on a chaing gang
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day

I know just where I went wrong
When one sings a true love song
Wanted money
Wanted honey
Chain gang

They put me on the chain gang
Chain gang, chain gang
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day
They put me on the chain gang
Chain gang, chain gang
Slavin' on a chaing gang
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day

[Woman sings wailing verse]

Late one night I stole some dough
She took it all and let me go
Got me stranded and got me branded
Chain gang

Put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day
They put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang
Sweatin' on a chain gang
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day

[Echoing woman wail again]

One fine day while they'll set me free
I'll find a girl, well, that takes to me
Won't be lonely, love me only
Chain gang

They put me on the chain gang
Chain gang, chain gang
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day
They put me on the chain gang,
Chain gang, chain gang
Sweatin' on a chain gang
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
[Echoing woman, then Timpany and fade]
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
[Echoing woman, then Timpany and fade]
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y dayyyyyyy
[Echoing woman, then Timpany and fade]
