Lyrics
Workin' on a coal pile,
Bustin' rocks at night,
Workin' me to death for four
Cents an hour,
Now ya know that isn't right Oh Warden, have mercy won't you please,
I'm in this penitentuary,
Beggin' on bended knee.
Bustin' rocks at night,
Workin' me to death for four
Cents an hour,
Now ya know that isn't right Oh Warden, have mercy won't you please,
I'm in this penitentuary,
Beggin' on bended knee.
