lyrics

King Johnny Cash and his mighty good band
Sped on down the line

As the warden wept on the road to ride

Many left for dead and it looked like fun
Across the field sprung the jail birds’ song
North bound feet down the south bound lane
We’re alright a leaving life as a chain gang

King Lead Belly and his blues guitar
Shuffle down the line

As the warden wept on the road to ride

Many left for dead and it looked like fun
Across the field sprung the jail birds’ song
North bound feet down the south bound lane
We’re alright a leaving life as a chain gang

Oh, we did what’s right
Lord we did no wrong
Cheered the freemen as they marched on
