He was black and handsome
|
And mighty mighty brave
|
Comin' from the backwoods
|
The grandson of a slave
|
He was caught for something
|
They knew he'd never done
|
And he was diggin' ditches
|
Out in the burnin' sun
|
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
No more, no more, no more
|
|
Man he was a giant
|
And iron he could bend
|
And he swore he'd fight them
|
Down to the bitter end
|
Though he was no talker
|
His burnin' eyes would say
|
You may keep on tryin'
|
can't hold me no way
|
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
No more, no more, no more
|
|
And one night he lay in waiting
|
Hit the guard and took the key
|
And before the others caught him
|
He jumped out and he was free
|
He jumped out and he was free
|
|
He made for the swamp lands
|
It seemed a hopeless duel
|
They had dogs and shotguns
|
And they were mighty cruel
|
But they couldn't find him
|
He was too smart and strong
|
Hiding' in the daytime
|
wandering all night long
|
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
|
Working on the chain gang-No More
