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
