Marty Stuart - Doin' My Time lyrics

Written by Jimmy Skinner On this old rock pile, with a ball and chain They call me by a number not a name, Lord Lord I've gotta do my time, I've gotta do my time With an achin' heart and a worried mind When that old judge, looked down and smiled Said I'll put you up that river for a while Lord Lord I've gotta do my time, I've gotta do my time With an achin' heart and a worried mind You can hear my hammer, you can hear my song Gonna swing it like John Henry all day long, Lord Lord I gotta do my time, I gotta my time With an achin' heart and a worried mind Well now it won't be long, just a few more days I'll settle down and quit my rowdy ways, Lord Lord With that gal of mine, yeah with that gal of mine She's a waiting for me, while I've done my time
