Work Song

Work Song - Hattie Littles

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Breaking rocks and serving my time

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Cause i been convicted of a crime

Hold it steady right there while i hit it huh

And reckon that ought a get it

Cause working and working

But i still got so terribly far to go

I convicted crime lord of needing

Crime of being hungry and poor

I left some grocery store man bleeding

When he caught me robbing his store

Hold it steady right there while i hit it huh

And reckon that ought a get it

Cause working and working

But i still got so terribly far to go

I wanna see my sweet honey baby

Gonna break these chains off and run

I'm gonna lay down somewhere shady

Lord i sure is hot in the sun

Hold it steady right there while i hit it huh

And reckon that ought a get it

Cause working and working

But i still got so terribly far to go

I wanna see my sweet honey baby

Gonna break these chains off and run

I'm gonna lay down somewhere shady

Lord i sure is hot in the sun

Hold it steady right there while i hit it huh

And reckon that ought a get it

Cause working and working

But i still got so terribly far to go

And i still got so terribly far to go

I still got so terribly far to go

Still got so terribly far to go

Still got so terribly far to go
