Doing My Time - Freddy

Doing My Time

Freddy 'fingers' Lee

(, MUSIDISC FRANCE, 1991)

I'm doing my time Lord, doing my time
I'm working on the chain gang, I'm working on the line
I've got to serve 10 years for my crime
I'm breaking my heart, but I'm doing my time

How hard the days and how long those nights
When I'm lying in a dirty bed and no one knows your plight
The cruelty and the loneliness will make you tow the line
It's breaking my heart, but I'm doing my time

I'm doing my time Lord, doing my time
I'm working on the chain gang, I'm working on the line
I've got to serve 10 years for my crime
I'm breaking my heart, but I'm doing my time

When locked in those cage and chained to your bed
There's one hundred reasons to wish you were dead
They break your back, you complain they break your head
I'm breaking my heart, but I'm doing my time

I'm doing my time Lord, doing my time
I'm working on the chain gang, I'm working on the line
I've got to serve 10 years for my crime
I'm breaking my heart, but I'm doing my time

I'm doing my time Lord, doing my time
I'm working on the chain gang, I'm working on the line
I've got to serve 10 years for my crime
I'm breaking my heart, but I'm doing my time
