No More Chain Gang Lyrics - Ultimate Boney M: Long Versions & Rarities, Vol. 1 - Boney M.

He was black and handsome 

And might might brave 

Comin' from the backwoods 

The grandson of a slave 

He was caught for something 

They knew he'd never done 

And was diggin' ditches 

Out in the burnin' sun 

Walkin' on a chain gang-No More 

Walking on a chain gang-No More 

Man he was a giant 

And iron he could bend 

And he swore he'd fight them 

Down to the bitter end 

Though he was no talker 

His burnin' eyes would say 

You may keep on tryin' 

You can't hold me no way 

Walkin' on a chain gang-No More 

Walking on a chain gang-No More 

Then one night he lay in waiting 

Hit the guard and took the key 

And before the others caught him 

He jumped out and he was free 

He jumped out and he was free 

He made for the swamp lands 

It seemed a hopeless duel 

They had dogs and shotguns 

And they were mighty cruel 

But they couldn't find him 

He was too smart and strong 

Hiding' in the daytime 

He wandered all night long 

Walkin' on a chain gang-No More 

Walking on a chain gang-No More
