There Ain't No Good Chain Gang

Bet it ain't raining back home

Bet your sister's still on the phone

Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken

Wishing that I hadn't done wrong

Momma, don't you worry about it none though

Everything's gonna be all right, Momma

They're teaching us a lot of new things in here Momma

Things like

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi

And there ain't no good chain gang

Papa's reading yesterday's mail

Wishing that the hay was all baled

I bet he's a-wishing we could go fishing

And here I am a-laying in jail

Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now

Everything's gonna be all right, Papa

They're teaching us a lesson a day we're learning pretty well too

We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already

Things like

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi

And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi

And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi

And there ain't no good chain gang

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman

And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi

And there ain't no good chain gang
