Текст песни The 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.
