Testo Work Song - Dion
Testo della canzone Work Song (Dion), tratta dall'album The Road I'm On: A Retrospective
Every morning finds me moaning
Life's a losing gamble to me
'Cause of all the trouble I see
Well, everybody knows I'm moaning
Well, every evening finds me moaning
I'm alone and I'm crying the blues
I'm so tired of paying my dues
Well, everybody knows I'm moaning
I'm breaking up big rocks on the chain gang
Breaking rocks and serving my time
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Lord, I've been convicted of crime
Hold it steady right there while I hit 'em, huh
I reckon that ought to get 'em
Working, Lord, working, hey now
I got a long way to go
I commit a crime, Lord, of needing
Crime of being hungry and poor
I left the grocery store man bleeding
Lord, he caught me robbing his store
Hold it steady right there while I hit it, huh
I reckon that ought to get 'em
And working, hey, Lord, working, hey now
I got a long way to go
I heard the judge say, "Five years of labor
Boy, on the chain gang you're gonna go"
I heard the judge say, "Five years of labor"
Then I heard my woman scream, "Lordy, no"
Hold it steady right there while I hit it, huh
I reckon that ought to get 'em
And working, hey, been working, oh Lord
I, I got such a terrible long way to go
I gotta go make a break 'cause I'm grieving
Gotta break my chains off and run
And if the boss man stops me from leaving
I tell you, Lord, I'm gonna get him one
Hold him steady right there while I hit him, huh
I reckon that ought to get 'em
And working, Lord, working, oh Lord
I got a long way to go
Lord, I'm moaning
I'm moaning
Oh, Lord, oh Lord
