Work Song Lyrics by Bobby Darin Bobby Darin
Below, you will find the lyrics for Work Song by Bobby Darin.
Go down Hannah go down
And stay down
Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang
Breakin' rocks and servin' my time
Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang
'cause I been convicted of a crime
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
Reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go
I been convicted of the crime, Lord, of needin'
Crime of bein' hungry and poor
Had-a leave some grocery man bleedin'
When he found me robbin' his store
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
Reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go
Heard a judge say, 'Five years labor
To the chain gang you got-a go.'
Heard a judge say, 'Five years labor.'
Heard my woman scream, 'Lordy, no!'
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
Reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go
Captain told me, 'You got to watch your behavior
If you're gonna work just like a natural born man.'
I told the captain, 'You'd be meetin' your Savior
You come on close to this hammer in my hand.'
Hold him steady right there while I hit him
Reckon that ought-a get him
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go
I wanna see my sweet, honey baby
I got to break these chains off and run
I wanna lay my head where it's shady
Lord knows it's hot in this sun
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
Reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go
See I been workin' I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go
You know I got me so terrible long to go
Lord I got me so damn long to go!
