Doin’ My Time

On this old rock pile, with a ball and chain
They call me by a number not a name, Lord Lord
I`ve gotta do my time, I`ve gotta do my time
With an achin` heart and a worried mind

When that old judge, looked down and smiled
Said I`ll put you up that river for a while Lord Lord
I`ve gotta do my time, I`ve gotta do my time
With an achin` heart and a worried mind

You can hear my hammer, you can hear my song
Gonna swing it like John Henry all day long, Lord Lord
I gotta do my time, I gotta my time
With an achin` heart and a worried mind

Well now it won`t be long, just a few more days
I`ll settle down and quit my rowdy ways, Lord Lord
With that gal of mine, yeah with that gal of mine
She`s a waiting for me, while I`ve done my time
