Marty Stuart, Johnny Cash - Doin' My Time lyrics
[Marty Stuart, Johnny Cash - Doin' My Time lyrics]
They call me by a number, not a name, Lord
Lord i've gotta do my time
I've gotta do my time with an achin' heart
And a worried mind
When that old judge looked down and smiled
Said, "I'll put you up that river
For a while, " Lord, lord
I've gotta do my time i've gotta do my time
With an achin' heart and a worried mind
You can hear my hammer you can hear my song
Gonna swing it like John Henry
All day long, Lord, lord
I gotta do my time i gotta do my time
With an achin' heart and a worried mind
Well, now it won't be long
Just a few more days
I'll settle down and quit
My rowdy ways, Lord, lord
With that gal of mine
Yeah, with that gal of mine
She's waitin' for me while I've done my time
