Boney M. - No More Chain Gang Lyrics
He was black and handsomeAnd mighty mighty braveComin from the backwoodsThe grandson of a slaveHe was caught for somethingThey knew hed never doneAnd he was diggin ditchesOut in the burnin sunWorking on the chain gang-no moreWorking on the chain gang-no moreWorking on the chain gang-no moreWorking on the chain gang-no moreNo more, no more, no moreMan he was a giantAnd iron he could bendAnd he swore hed fight themDown to the bitter endThough he was no talkerHis burnin eyes would sayYou may keep on tryinCant hold me no wayWorking on the chain gang-no moreWorking on the chain gang-no moreWorking on the chain gang-no moreWorking on the chain gang-no moreNo more, no more, no moreAnd one night he lay in waitingHit the guard and took the keyAnd before the others caught himHe jumped out and he was freeHe jumped out and he was freeHe made for the swamp landsIt seemed a hopeless duelThey had dogs and shotgunsAnd they were mighty cruelBut they couldnt find himHe was too smart and strongHiding in the daytimeWandering all night longWorking on the chain gang-no moreWorking on the chain gang-no moreWorking on the chain gang-no moreWorking on the chain gang-no moreWorking on the chain gang-no moreWorking on the chain gang-no more
