Bonney M - No More Chain Gang

He was black and handsome And mighty mighty brave

Comin' from the backwoods The grandson of a slave

He was caught for something They knew he'd never done

And he was diggin' ditches Out in the burnin' sun

Working on the chain gang-No More Working on the chain gang-No More

Working on the chain gang-No More Working on the chain gang-No More

No more, no more, no more

Man he was a giant And iron he could bend

And he swore he'd fight them Down to the bitter end

Though he was no talker His burnin' eyes would say

You may keep on tryin' Can't hold me no way
