Testo Work Song - Nina Simone
Testo della canzone Work Song (Nina Simone), tratta dall'album Forbidden Fruit
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Breaking rocks and serving my time
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Because I been convicted of crime
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
Well, reckon that ought to get it
Been working, I was working
But I still got so terribly far to go
I committed crime, Lord I needed
Crime of being hungry and poor
I left the grocery store man breathing
When they caught me robbing his store
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
Well, reckon that ought to get it
Been working, I was working
But I still got so terribly far to go
Gonna see my sweet honey baby
Gonna break this chain off to run
I'm gonna lay down somewhere shady
Lord, it sure is hot in the sun
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
Well, reckon that ought to get it
Been working and working
But I still got so terribly far to go
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang, oh
I been workin' and workin'
But I still got so terribly far to go
