On this old rock pile with a ball and chain
they call me by a number not a name.
Lord Lord gotta d o my time. I gotta do my time
with an achin' heart on that gal of mine.
You can hear my hammer you can hear my saw.
Gonna sing it like John Henry all day long.
Lord Lord gotta d o my time. I gotta do my time
with an achin' heart on that gal of mine.

When that old judge look ed down at me
said "I'll put you in the penitentiary."
Lord Lord gotta d o my time. I gotta do my time
with an achin' heart on that gal of mine.

Well now i t won't be long just a few more days.
They'll let me out of here.
I'm gonna stay Lord Lord with that gal of m ine. With that gal of mine.
She's waited for me while I 've done my time.
