I know just where I went wrong,
Aku tahu di mana aku salah,
when one sings a true love song,
ketika seseorang menyanyikan lagu cinta sejati,
wanted money,
menginginkan uang,
wanted honey,
ingin madu,
a-chain gang,
geng berantai,

(woman sings wailing verse – almost angelic with echo)
(wanita bernyanyi ratapan ayat – hampir malaikat dengan echo)

So now, they put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang;
Jadi sekarang, mereka menempatkan saya pada rantai geng, geng, geng;
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day,
Workin ‘di sebuah rantai gang al-ll-sepanjang hari,
They put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang;
Mereka menempatkan saya pada rantai geng, geng, geng;
sweatin' on a chain gang e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
berkeringat ‘pada hari geng rantai e-e-e-e-e-e-ver’y

One fine day they'll set me free;
Suatu hari mereka akan membebaskanku;
I know just where I will be,
Aku tahu di mana aku akan berada,
Won't be lonely, love me only,
Tidak akan kesepian, cintai aku saja,
Chain gang
Rantai geng

(echoing woman wail again)
(bergema wanita meratap lagi)

They put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang;
Mereka menempatkan saya pada rantai geng, geng, geng;
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day,
Workin ‘di sebuah rantai gang al-ll-sepanjang hari,
They put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang;
Mereka menempatkan saya pada rantai geng, geng, geng;
sweatin' on a chain gang e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
berkeringat ‘pada hari geng rantai e-e-e-e-e-e-ver’y
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
E-e-e-e-e-e-ver’y hari
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
E-e-e-e-e-e-ver’y hari
(slower this last time
(lambat ini terakhir kali
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y dayyyyyyy!!!!
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver’y dayyyyyyy !!!!

(Echoing woman, then Timpany and fade)
(Menggema wanita, lalu Timpany dan memudar)
