Marty Stuart With Johnny Cash - Doin' My Time lyrics

rate me

On this old rock pile, with a ball and chain<br />

They call me by a number not a name Lord, Lord<br />

I've gotta do my time, I've gotta do my time<br />

With an achin' heart and a worried mind<br />

<br />

When that old judge looked down and smiled<br />

Said I'll put you up that river for a while Lord, Lord<br />

I've gotta do my time, I've gotta do my time<br />

With an achin' heart and a worried mind<br />

<br />

You can hear my hammer, you can hear my song<br />

Gonna swing it like John Henry all day long Lord, Lord<br />

I've gotta do my time, I gotta do my time<br />

With an achin' heart and a worried mind<br />

<br />

Well now it won't be long, just a few more days<br />

I'll settle down and quit my rowdy ways Lord, Lord<br />

With that gal of mine' yeah with that gal of mine<br />

She's waitin' for me, while I've done my time
