Work Gang

	Well you chop the wood, you bring the hammer down
	But when your work is done,well you're chained and bound
	You get up next day, with your aching pain
	Well you take the whip
	And you start again
	Now you're long gone, where you came from
	It's the same song from way back home
	Days are so long, pray to someone
	Maybe white god
	Will take us home â€¦
	Now you're long gone â€¦
	Your hear the sound in church
	Hear the white folks sing
	Maybe some sweet day
	You hear them church bells ring
	And your chains will break
	And the pain be gone
	See me dancing on a
	Sunday To a freedom song
	Yeah, you're long gone,where you came from
	It's the same song
	From way back home
	Days are so long
	Pray to someone
	Maybe white god
	Will take us home
	Days are so long
	Pray to someone
	Maybe white god
	Will take us home â€¦
	Yeah you're long gone â€¦
