Johnny Cash Lyrics

"Doin' My Time" lyrics


(Jimmie Skinner)

On this old rock pile with a ball and chain
They call me by a number not a name Lord Lord
Gotta do my time I gotta do my time
With an aching heart want that girl of mine

You can hear my hammer you can hear my song
Gonna swing it like John Henry all day long Lord Lord
Gotta do my time I gotta do my time
With an aching heart want that girl of mine
[ guitar ]
When that old judge looked down at me
Said I'll put you in that penitentiary Lord Lord
Gotta do my time gotta do my time
With an aching heart want that girl of mine
[ guitar ]
Well now it won't be long just a few more days
They'll let me out of here I'm gonna stay Lord Lord
With that gal of mine with that gal of mine
She's waited for me while I've done my time
