[Chorus]I'm singing the chain gang bluesYou can sing anything you chooseThere's twenty-nine links around my feetI'm singing the chain gang blues[Verse 1]I'm thinking of sweet Marie and her baby in TennesseeThat bank I robbed in Alabama put me where I am[Chorus]I'm singing the chain gang bluesYou can sing anything you chooseThere's twenty-nine links around my feetI'm singing the chain gang blues[Verse 2]I'm working that old highwayFeels like 48 hours a dayWill my sweetheart be there waiting for me?Way down in Tennessee[Chorus]I'm singing the chain gang bluesYou can sing anything you chooseThere's twenty-nine links around my feetI'm singing the chain gang blues[Interlude][Chorus]I'm singing the chain gang bluesYou can sing anything you chooseThere's twenty-nine links around my feetI'm singing the chain gang bluesThere's twenty-nine links around my feetI'm singing the chain gang blues
