Doin' My Time

Johnny Cash

Transposer:

On this old rock pile with a ball and chain they call me by a number not a name. Lord Lord gotta do my time. I gotta do my time with an achin' heart on that gal of mine. You can hear my hammer you can hear my saw. Gonna sing it like John Henry all day long. Lord Lord gotta do my time. I gotta do my time with an achin' heart on that gal of mine. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When that old judge looked down at me said "I'll put you in the penitentiary." Lord Lord gotta do my time. I gotta do my time with an achin' heart on that gal of mine. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Well now it won't be long just a few more days. They'll let me out of here. I'm gonna stay Lord Lord with that gal of mine. With that gal of mine. She's waited for me while I've done my time.

La chanson évoque la vie difficile d'un homme emprisonné, réduit à un numéro et frappé par la solitude. Il exprime son chagrin et l'angoisse d'être séparé de celle qui lui est chère. Ses pensées sont avec elle, et il se projette déjà en dehors de sa cellule, impatient de la retrouver. Malgré les épreuves, il garde espoir et se concentre sur le moment où il retrouvera sa liberté et l'amour qui l'attend. La mélodie, empreinte de nostalgie, souligne son désir de rédemption et de retrouvailles.
