Chain Gang

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they're singin'
(Hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!)

All day long they work so hard till the sun's goin' down
Working on the highways and byways and wearing a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away then you hear somebody say ..

That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

I'm goin' home one of these days, I'm goin' home, see my woman
Whom I love so dear but meanwhile I got to work right here

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty, oh I'm working so hard
(Hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!)
…

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

(Hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!)
