On this old rock pile, with the ball and chain
They call me by a number, not a name, Lord, Lord
Gotta do my time, I gotta do my time
With an achin' heart, on that girl of mine
You can hear my hammer, you can hear my saw
Gonna sing it like John Henry all day long, Lord, Lord
Gotta do my time, I gotta do my time
With an achin' heart, on that girl of mine
When that old judge looked down at me
Said, "I put you in that penitentiary, " Lord, Lord
Gotta do my time, gotta do my time
With an achin' heart, on that girl of mine
Well, now it won't be long, just a few more days
They'll let me out of here, I'm gonna stay, Lord, Lord
With that girl of mine, with that girl of mine
She's waiting for me, while I've done my time
