Letra de Work Song - 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 � huh!
Oh, 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 � huh!
Oh, 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 � huh!
Oh, 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 � huh!
Oh, 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 � huh!
Oh, 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!
