Work Song

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
鎖鏈把我和其他囚犯牽在一起
Breaking rocks and serving my time
砸石頭來服刑
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
鎖鏈把我和其他囚犯牽在一起
Because they done convicted me of crime
因為我犯了罪
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
扶穩了，我要砸了！
Well, reckon that ought to get it
好吧希望我能砸準
Been working and working
勞動，整天勞動
But I still got so terribly long to go
還他媽要干那麼長時間
I committed crime Lord I needed
我犯罪了，哦上帝
Crime of being hungry and poor
有沒有飢餓罪和貧窮罪可以犯
I left the grocery store man breathing
雜貨店的老闆鮮血直流
When they caught me robbing his store
在警察抓住我搶劫的時候
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
扶穩了，我要砸了！
Well, reckon that ought to get it
好吧希望我能砸準
Been working and working
勞動，整天勞動
But I still got so terribly long to go
還他媽要干那麼長時間
I heard the judge say five years labor
我聽見法官說判我勞動五年
On chain-gang you gonna go
和其他囚犯牽在一起
I heard the judge say five years labor
我聽見法官說判我勞動五年
I heard my old man scream Lordy, no!
聽見我的老爹喊道：“天哪，不！”
Hold it right there while I hit it
扶穩了，我要砸了！
Well, reckon that ought to get it
好吧希望我能砸準
Been working and working
勞動，整天勞動
But I still got so terribly long to go
還他媽要干那麼長時間
Wanna see my sweet honey bee
我想我的甜甜小寶貝了
Wanna break this chain off to run
我想砸斷鎖鏈就此逃跑
Im gonna lay down somewhere shady
我想找個涼快地方躺著
Lord, I sure am hot in the sun
哦上帝，這太陽真的很熱
Hold it right there while I hit it
扶穩了，我要砸了！
Well, reckon that ought to get it
好吧希望我能砸準
Been working and working
勞動，整天勞動
But Istill got so terribly long to go
還他媽要干那麼長時間
Breaking Ill be rocks out the chain gang
別砸石頭了還是砸我吧！
