Waylon Jennings – There Ain't No Good Chain Gang lyrics
Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash

Verse One
(Waylon)
I'll bet it ain't a-rainin' back homei bet your sister's still on the phone
I bet mama's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong

Verse Two
(Johnny - Spoken)
Don't you worry about us none now, mama
Everything's gonna be all right, mama
They're teaching us a lot of new things in here, mama
Things like...

Chorus (Johnny with Waylon as harmony/background singer)
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

Verse Three
(Waylon)
Papa's readin' yesterday's mail
Wishin' that the hay was all bailed
I'll bet he's a-wishin' he could go fishin'
And here I am a-laying in jail

Verse Four
(Jonnhy - Spoken)
Don't you worry about us now, Papa
They're teaching us a lesson a day, we're learning pretty well, too
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like...
