[G]
[Am] Why did he let me do it?
Through [G] these bars I [C] see the sun
I'm [G] here because the [C] wrong I've done
My [G] woman's heed made [C] me a slave
I sung [G] for her, oh I should have [C] stood up like a man
You see I've gotta [G] say good morning
[E] To a nine pound slave
[C]
[G] They got me working [C] like a slave
[G] Begging for my [C] mistake
I've gotta [G] say good morning
[D] To a nine [C] pound slave
Good morning to that old nine [G] pound slave
This [C] old jail is [G] so cold
I need [Am] you [C] darling, I need your love [G] more and more
I know someday, someday [C] I'll be free
[G] Please darling, oh honey wait [C] for me
I've gotta [G] say good morning
[D] To a nine [C] pound slave Oh [G] baby
[G]
[Am] I know [G] someday, someday [C] I'll be free
Oh [G] baby, oh honey [C] wait for me
[C] Until I lay down [G] this old nine, nine pound,
[D] [C] nine pound slave
Oh [G] baby, baby let me [Em] lay [D] down this old nine, oh this [C] old nine pound, [G] nine pound
