In the Gravel Yard

G

Traditional

G    G    C    G

In the gravel yard with a number for my name    

G    D    G    G
Making little rocks out of big rocks all day 

G    G    C    G      
Oh the work is might hard out in the gravel yard  

G    D    G    G
I’ll never be a free man so they say           

 

Warden hear my plea, listen now to me
I killed a man, I caught him with my wife
You’d have probably done the same, so why am I to blame
In prison for the rest of my life

[Chorus]

 

In the driving rain with a ball and chain
My hammer sings a low and mournful sound
It sings a little sing for the ones who done me wrong
That lay beneath the cold, cold ground

[Chorus]
