Seldom Scene Doing My Time
On this old rock pile, with a ball and chain
They call me by a number not a name, Lord Lord
Gotta do my time, gotta do my time
With an achin` heart and a worried mind
That old judge, looked down and smiled
Said I`ll put you on that good road for a while Lord Lord
Gotta do my time, 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
Gotta do my time, gotta do my time
With an achin` heart and a worried mind
Well now it won`t be long, just a few more days
Gotta 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
