By Joey Allcorn 7/8/2007 E Well I've been workin' all day in that Alabama sun E I tried to fight the law but the law man won E He knocked me on my knees And he kicked me in my face and E Told me if I died I would quickly be replaced Chorus: A Hey, you can keep your hammer A I'll swing my ball and chain E Cause I'm a life time member B E Of the Alabama Chain Gang This boy started runnin' he thought he could get away They put the dogs out on him and they caught him any way The Sheriff said: "Now boy I've done got you best And now I'm gonna put a hole through your chest" (Gun Shot) Chorus Wish I could have a drink of water cause I think I'm gonna die It gets hotter than hell in the middle of July Another boy fell out, somebody said he died If that's the case the Warden will be mighty satisfied Chorus Alabama Chain Gang Alabama Chain Gang By Joey Allcorn 7/8/2007 E Well I've been workin' all day in that Alabama sun E
