Nina Simone - Work Song] слова песни
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gangBreaking rocks and serving my timeBreaking rocks out here on the chain gangBecause they done convicted me of crimeHold it steady right there while I hit itwell reckon that ought to get itbeenworking and workingbut I still got so terribly far to goI commited crime Lord I neededCrime of being hungry and poorI left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?)When they caught me robbing his storeHold it steady right there while I hit itWell reckon that ought to get itbeenworking and workingbut I still got so terribly far to goI heard the judge say five yearsOn chain-gang you gonna goI heard the judge say five years laborI heard my old man scream "Lordy, no!"Hold it right there while I hit itwell reckon that ought to get itbeenworking and workingbut I still got so terribly far to goGonna see my sweet honey beeGonna break this chain off to runGonna lay down somewhere shadyLord I sure am hot in the sunHold it right there while I hit itwell reckon that ought to get itbeenworkin` and workin`beenworkin` and slavin`an`workin` and workin`but I still got so terribly far to go
