Sam Phillips - Doin' My Time lyrics

[Verse] On this old rock pile with a ball and chain They call me by a number, not a name Lord, Lord Got to do my time, I got to do my time With an aching heart on that gal of mine You can hear my hammer, you can hear my saw Gonna swing it like John Henry all day long Lord, Lord Got to do my time, I got to do my time With an aching heart on that gal of mine When that old judge looked down at me Said I put you in that penitentiary Lord, Lord Got to do my time, I got to do my time With an aching heart on that gal 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 gal of mine, with that gal of mine She's waited for me while I've done my time
