I'm Free From The Chain Gang Now

I'm Free From The Chain Gang Now - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

Written by：Saul Klein/Lou Herscher

I got rid of the shackles that bound me

And the guards that were always around me

There were tears on the mail

Mother sent me in jail

But I'm free from the chain gang now

Back home I was known and respected

Then one day I was wrongly suspected

So they put me in chains in a cold freezing rain

But I'm free from the chain gang now

All the years I was known by a number

How I kept my mind is a wonder

And the bare prison cell

That was one step from hell

But I'm free from the chain gang now

I prayed that the gossip will spare me

When I return to the one I will marry

Like a bird in a tree I got my liberty

And I'm free from the chain gang now
