Ain’t No Good Chain Gang Lyrics by C.J. Garton

Tales of the Ole West and Other Libations to Please the Palate

2022

[Verse 1: CJ Garton]
I bet it ain't rainin' back home
I bet your sister's still on the phone
Mama's in the kitchen, cookin' fried chicken
Wishin' that I hadn't done wrong
[Verse 2: Struggle Jennings]
Hey, Mama
Don't worry about us now none, Mama
Everything's gonna be all right, Mama
You know they teachin' us a lot of new things in here, Mama
Things like
[Chorus: CJ Garton]
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
You don't go writin' hot checks down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
[Post-Chorus: CJ Garton]
No
[Verse 3: CJ Garton]
Papa's readin' yesterday's mail
Wishin' that the hay was all bailed
I'll bet he's a-wishin' we could go fishin'
Here I am, a-layin' in jail
[Verse 4: Struggle Jennings]
Papa
Don't worry about us now, Papa
They teachin' me a lot of lessons every day
They teachin' us pretty well
I already learned a lot like
[Chorus: CJ Garton]
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
You don't go writin' hot checks down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
You don't go writin' hot checks down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: CJ Garton]
That's right, Papa
They gon' cut me loose sometime
They can't keep me in here forever
I'll be home soon
[Outro: CJ Garton]
I bet it ain't rainin' back home
I bet your sister's still on the phone
Mama's in the kitchen, cookin' fried chicken
Wishin' that I hadn't done wrong
Bet it ain't rainin' back home
I bet your sister's still on the phone
