Yeah you know I worked on the railroad I even worked down on that chain gang Yeah you know I worked on the railroad Oh boy and I worked down on the chain gang
Yeah they put me in jail when it was raining Honey that was the best for me Throwed me in the jail when it was raining Honey and that is the best for me You know the jail kept me in [from] the wet I didn't have no place to stay, don't you know
When I workin' on the chain gang, ball and chain all around my leg I was workin' on the chain gang, ball and chain all around my leg I said Please don't drive me too hard, I'm an old man They say We don't pay no attention to the age
He said Who sent you down here, boy What did you break in this jail for? Who sent you down here, boy What did you break in this jail for? He say You look like a man would kill your mother (And I believe he did) Oh boy what did you kill that old woman for? (A sad time, and I had to cry...)
I said mmmmmmm mister jailer, will you please sir bring me the key I said mmmmmmm mister jailer, will you please sir bring me the key I says I just want you to open the door Cause this ain't no place for me
