Chain Gang Blues

[Verse 1]
The judge found me guilty, the clerk, he wrote it down
The judge found me guilty, the clerk, he wrote it down
Just a poor gal in trouble, I know I'm county road bound

[Verse 2]
Many days of sorrow, many nights of woe
Many days of sorrow, many nights of woe
And a ball and chain everywhere I go

[Trumpet Solo]

[Verse 3]
Chains on my feet, padlock on my hands
Chains on my feet, padlock on my hands
It's all on account of stealin' a woman's man

[Verse 4]
It was early this mornin' that I had my trial
It was early this mornin' that I had my trial
90 days on the county road, and the judge didn't even smile
