On this old rock park, with the ball and chain, they call me by a number, not a name, Lord.
Gotta do [Eb] my time, gotta do [Bb] my time, with [F] a naked heart and a [Bb] worried mind.
When that old girl looked down and smiled, said I'll put you on that dribble for a while, Lord.
Gotta do [Eb] my time, gotta do [Bb] my time, with a naked [F] heart and a worried [Bb] mind.
You can hear my hammer, you can hear my soul, I'm gonna swing it like John Henry, all along, Lord.
Gotta do my [Eb]
time, gotta do my time, with [F] a naked heart and a [Bb] worried mind.
It won't be long, just a few more days, I'll settle down and put my body back, Lord.
[Bbm] [Bb] But that girl of mine, but that girl of mine, she'll be waiting for [F] me, when I've done my [Bb]
time.
Gotta do [Eb] my time, gotta do [Bb] my time, with [F] a naked heart and a [Bb] worried mind.
