As far as Part D goes, it is not widely known that this is actually a quote from another song, called The Work Song. I have this on GNP-Crescendo #86, "There's A Meetin' Here Tonight" by Joe & Eddie. The first verse and chorus lyrics are: Breakin' up big rocks on the chain gang, Breakin' rocks and soothin' my time. Breakin' up big rocks on the chain gang, Oh Lord I committed a crime. Hold it steady right there while I hit it I reckon that ought to get it. Been workin', I been work (tabfu.thudspace.net)
