E
Well I've been workin' all day in that Alabama sun
E
I tried to fight the law but the law man won 
E
He knocked me on my knees And he kicked me in my face and
E
Told me if I died I would quickly be replaced


Chorus:
A
Hey, you can keep your hammer 
A
I'll swing my ball and chain
            E 
Cause I'm a life time member 
       B             E
Of the Alabama Chain Gang


This boy started runnin' he thought he could get away
They put the dogs out on him and they caught him any way
The Sheriff said: "Now boy I've done got you best 
And now I'm gonna put a hole through your chest" (Gun Shot)


Chorus


Wish I could have a drink of water cause I think I'm gonna die
It gets hotter than hell in the middle of July
Another boy fell out, somebody said he died
If that's the case the Warden will be mighty satisfied


Chorus
