(D. Morgan/S. Allen Davis/B. Lee Springfield)Chain gang, chain gang
Oh, turn me loose
Why don't you set me free
Of heartache and blues
Well, he's gone, he's gone
I can't stand the pain
Set me free
Turn me loose
Chain gang, chain gang
Well, I'm g-u-i-l-t-y
Guilty of a heart that breaks
Darlin', I loved you, but you said goodbye
You left me shackled to an old heartacheChain gang, chain gang
Oh, turn me loose
Why don't you set me free
Of heartache and blues
Well, he's gone, he's gone
I can't stand the pain
Set me free
Turn me loose
Chain gang, chain gangAll day in, all day out
Darlin', I'm just doin' time
I'm sentenced to life without you
Baby, it's a doggone crime
Well, he's gone, he's gone
I can't stand the pain
Set me free
Turn me loose
Chain gang, chain gangSet me free
Turn me loose
Chain gang, chain gang
