Chains on my feet,
padlock on my hand
just for  of stealing
the judges wife you see

was early this morning
that I had my trial
Ninety days on the county road, 
they gave me 

The judge found me guilty,
the clerk she wrote it down
Just a poor man 
in trouble, YOU SEE county road bound 
Many days of sorrow,
hard work ball & chain
on my feet
====================================
Got the chain gain blues
these old  chain gand blues 
chain gang blues
yea is killing me

Chain on my feet 
padlocks on my hand 
no way  they'll let me go
or ever set me free
=============================

I'll be working on the road
its got a many of holes
I,ve got  a big payload
head of me

I'm digging holes pouring  loads
 of Concrete to pour
in those potholes
on this old country road
 
now the  warden told me
as he look in my eyes
going to bring you down
to your  knees
that for stealing my wife

you think your
a real handsome guy
going make an example out you
==========================================

Got the chain gain blues
these old  chain gand blues 
chain gang blues 
yea is killing me

Chain on my feet 
padlocks on my hand 
no way  let me go
or ever set  me free
===========================

Got the chain gain blues
