(D. MorganS. Allen DavisB. Lee Springfield)



Chain gang, chain gang

Oh, turn me loose

Why don't you set me free

Of heartache and blues

Well, he's gone, he's gone

I can't stand the pain

Set me free

Turn me loose

Chain gang, chain gang



Well, I'm g-u-i-l-t-y

Guilty of a heart that breaks

Darlin', I loved you, but you said goodbye

You left me shackled to an old heartache



Chain gang, chain gang

Oh, turn me loose

Why don't you set me free

Of heartache and blues

Well, he's gone, he's gone

I can't stand the pain

Set me free

Turn me loose

Chain gang, chain gang



All day in, all day out

Darlin', I'm just doin' time

I'm sentenced to life without you

Baby, it's a doggone crime



Well, he's gone, he's gone

I can't stand the pain

Set me free

Turn me loose

Chain gang, chain gang



Set me free

Turn me loose

Chain gang, chain gang
