Ma Rainey - Chain Gang Blues lyrics

The judge found me guilty, the clerk he wrote it down (x 2) Just a poor gal in trouble, I know I'm county road bound Many days of sorrow, many nights of woe (x 2) And a ball and chain everywhere I go Chains on my feet, padlock on my hand (x 2) It's all on account of stealing a woman's man It was early this morning that I had my trial (x 2) Ninety days on the county road, and judge didn't even smile&46
