Johnny Cash - There Ain’t No Good Chain Gang

Bet it isn't raining back home
Bet your sister's still on the phone
Bet Mamma's in the kitchen
Cooking fried chicken
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong
Yeah, Mamma
Don't you worry about it none though
Everything's going to be all right, Mamma
They're teaching us a lot of
New things in here Mamma things like

There is no good in an evil hearted woman
And I'm not cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot
Cheques down in Mississippi
And there is no good chain gang

Papa's reading yesterday's mail
Wishing that the hay was all baled
I bet he's wishing we could go fishing
And here I am laying in jail well, Papa
Don't you worry about it none now
Everything's going to be all right, Papa
They're teaching us a lesson a day
We're learning pretty well too
We've already learned a whole
Lot of stuff already things like

There is no good in an evil hearted woman
And I'm not cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot
Cheques down in Mississippi
And there is no good chain gang
There is no good in an evil hearted woman
And I'm not cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot
Cheques down in Mississippi
And there is no good chain gang
There is no good in an evil hearted woman
And I'm not cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot
Cheques down in Mississippi
And there is no good chain gang
There is no good in an evil hearted woman
And I'm not cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot
Cheques down in Mississippi
And there is no good chain gang
