Ain't No Good Chain Gang - Johnny Cash

[Verse 1 (Waylon)]
[C] I'll bet it ain't a-rainin' back home
[C] I bet your sister's still on the phone
I bet [F] mama's in the kitchen, [C] cooking fried chick[A]en
Wish[D7]ing that I [G] hadn't done [C] wrong

[Verse 2 (Johnny - Spoken)]
[C] Don't you worry about us none now, mama
[C] Everything's gonna be all right, mama
[C] They're teaching us a lot of new things in here, mama
Things like...

|[Chorus (Johnny with Waylon as harmony/background singer)]
|[C] There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
|[C] And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
|And you [F] don't go writin' hot cheques, [C] down in Mississip[A]pi
|And there [D7] ain't no [G] good chain [C] gang

[Instrumental]
[C] [C] [F] [C] [A] [D7] [G] [C]

[Verse 3 (Waylon)]
[C] Papa's readin' yesterday's mail
[C] Wishin' that the hay was all bailed
I'll [F] bet he's a-wishin' he [C] could go fishin [A]'
And here [D7] I am a-[G]laying in [C] jail

[Verse 4 (Jonnhy - Spoken)]
[C] Don't you worry about us now, Papa
[C] They're teaching us a lesson a day, we're learning pretty well, too
[C] We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like...

|[Chorus] x2
|[C] There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
