Aint No Good Chain Gang Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

CAPO ON FIRST FRET

Verse One (Waylon):
[A]I'll bet it ain't a-rainin' back home
I bet your sister's still on the phone
I bet [D]mama's in the kitchen, [A]cooking fried chick[E]en
Wis[B7]hing that I [E]hadn't done w[A]rong

Verse Two (Johnny - Spoken):
[A]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):
[A]There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you [D]don't go writin' hot cheques, [A]down in Mississip[E]pi
And there [B7]ain't no [E]good chain [A]gang

Instrumental - Waylon on guitar. See bottom of document...

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...
