Ana Popovic Work Song lyrics

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Breaking rocks and serving my time

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

Because they done convicted me of crime

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well I reckon that I'm ought to get it

Been working and working

But I still got so terribly far to go


I committed crime lord I needed

Crime of being hungry and poor

I left the grocery store man breathing

When they caught me robbing his store

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well I reckon that I'm gonna 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 it's hot in the sun

Hold it steady right there while I hit it

Well I reckon that I'm gonna get it

Been workin' and workin'

But I still got so terribly far to go
