Doing My Time Song Lyrics and Chords by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs

 

Doing My Time
Recorded by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs
Written by Jimmie Skinner
G 
On this old rock pile with a ball and chain
They call me by a number not a name Lord Lord
C 
Gotta do my time gotta do my  
G 
time
 
With an aching  
D7 
heart and a worried  
G 
mind
When that old judge looked down and smiled
Said I'll put you on that good road for a while Lord Lord
C 
Gotta do my time gotta do my  
G 
time
 
With an aching  
D7 
heart and a worried  
G 
mind
You can hear my hammer you can hear my song
I'm gonna swing it like John Henry all day long Lord Lord
C 
Gotta do my time gotta do my  
G 
time
 
With an aching  
D7 
heart and a worried  
G 
mind
It won't be long just a few more days
I'll settle down and quit my rowdy ways Lord Lord
C 
With that gal of mine with that gal of  
G 
mine
 
She'll be waitin' for  
D7 
me when I've done my  
G 
time
