Oscar brown jr, nat adderley Webagentur Köln

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Breaking rocks and serving my time
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang Klebefolie
Because they done convicted me of crime
Hold it steady right there while i hit it
Well reckon that ought to get it
Been Geschenkideen basteln
Working and working
But i still got so terribly far to go

I commited crime lord i needed Nici Schaf
Crime of being hungry and poor
I left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?)
When they caught me robbing his store
Hold it steady right there while i hit it Briefpapier Drucken
Well reckon that ought to get it
Been
Working and working
But i still got so terribly far to go Bastelanleitungen

I heard the judge say five years
On chain-gang you gonna go
I heard the judge say five years labor Höschen im Döschen
I heard my old man scream "lordy, no!"
Hold it right there while i hit it
Well reckon that ought to get it
Been Bildschirmhintergründe
Working and working
But i still got so terribly far to go

Gonna see my sweet honey bee Behandlungsfehler
Gonna break this chain off to run
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
