BALSAM RANGE
"Chain Gang Blues"
(Marvin Davis)

[Chorus:]
I'm singing the chain gang blues
You can sing anything you choose
There's twenty-nine links around my feet
I'm singing the chain gang blues

I'm thinking of sweet Marie and her baby in Tennessee
That bank I robbed in Alabama put me where I am

[Chorus:]
I'm singing the chain gang blues
You can sing anything you choose
There's twenty-nine links around my feet
I'm singing the chain gang blues

I'm working that old highway
Feels like 48 hours a day
Will my sweetheart be there waiting for me?
Way down in Tennessee

[Chorus:]
I'm singing the chain gang blues
You can sing anything you choose
There's twenty-nine links around my feet
I'm singing the chain gang blues

[Interlude]

[Chorus:]
I'm singing the chain gang blues
You can sing anything you choose
There's twenty-nine links around my feet
I'm singing the chain gang blues

There's twenty-nine links around my feet
I'm singing the chain gang blues
