文本歌词

I did all I could baby
Satisfy your mind
Well I wake up every morning you got me moaning and crying
Trying to send me to the chain gang
Back to the murderers' home
I'd have been in a better shape mama
If I'd let that reckless woman alone
Now I'm gonna have to give you my number
41144
I'll be there forever
I ain't got no wheres else to go
Cause I've got to go to the chain gang
Back to the murderers' home
I'd have been in a better shape mama
If I'd let that reckless woman alone
He was a mean old judge
Wouldn't give me no fine
Only thing going to relieve me is old Father Time
I got to go to the chain gang
Back to the murderers' home
I would have been in a better shape mama
If I'd have let that reckless woman alone
When I was down in the alley mama drinking that old mean booze and gin
Say you better do your running around cause you ain't never going to do it again
'Cause it leads me straight to the chain gang
Down to the murderers' home
I'd have been in a better shape mama
If I'd have let that reckless woman alone
Goodbye everybody here comes the jailer with a key
Farewell to freedom I don't want no one to pity me
I'm going to the chain gang
Down to the murderers' home
I'd have been in a better shape mama
If I'd have let that reckless woman alone
So now bye bye all you womens this is the last I've got to say
Say I'm going on and make my time I'll be a free man some day
But I ain't going back to the chain gang
Back to the murderers' home
I'd have been in a better shape baby
If I'd have let that reckless woman alone
