Johnny Cash - Doin' my time [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
On this old rock pile with a ball and chain
They call me by a number, not a name Lord, Lord
Got to do my time, I got to do my time
With an aching heart and a worried mind
When that old judge looked down and smiled
Said I put you up that river for a while Lord, Lord
Got to do my time, I got to do my time
With an aching heart and a worried mind
You can hear my hammer, you can hear my saw
Gonna swing it like John Henry all day long Lord, Lord
Got to do my time, I got to do my time
With an aching 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, with that gal of mine
She's waited for me while I've done my time
