Work Song

Work Song - Nina Simone (妮娜·西蒙)

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Breaking rocks and serving my time

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Cause they been convicted of crime

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well I reckon that ought to get it

Been working and working

But I still got so terribly far to go

I commited crime lord I needed

Crime of being hungry and poor

I left the grocery store man bleeding

When they caught me robbing his store

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well I reckon that ought to get it

Been working and working

But I still got so terribly far to go

Gonna see my sweet honey baby

Gonna break this chain off to run

Gonna lay down somewhere shady

Lord sure is hot in the sun

Hold it steay 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

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Oh

Been working and working

But I still that so terribly far to go
