Yeah you know I've been in a lots of trouble

Yes and I've been in mostly everything
几乎尝遍了世间百态
Yeah they put me in jail when it was raining

Honey that was the best for me
亲爱的 这反倒成了我的福气
Throwed me in the jail when it was raining

Honey and that is the best for me

I didn't have no place to stay don't you see

When I workin' on the chain gang

Ball and chain all around my leg

A sad time and I had to cry
