| That’s the sound of the men, working down the chain gang
|
| That’s the sound of the men, working on the chain gang
|
| I hear something sayin'
|
| That’s the sound of the men, working on the chain gang
|
| That’s the sound of the men, working down the chain gang
|
| All day long, we work so hard 'til the sun is going down
|
| I’m working on the highways and byways and wearin', wearin' a frown
|
| You hear them moanin' their lives away
|
| Until you hear somebody say
|
| That’s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
|
| That’s the sound of the men working down the chain gang
|
| I hear somethin' saying
|
| I’m going home one of these days
|
| I’m going home to see my woman
|
| Whom I love so dear
|
| But meanwhile I, I’ve got to work right here
|
| That’s the sound of the men, working on the chain gang
|
| That’s the sound of the men, working down the chain gang
|
| My my my my oh my my, my work is so hard, give me water
|
| I’m thirsty oh, oh my my, my work is so hard
|
| That’s the sound of the men, working on the chain gang
|
| That’s the sound of the men, working down the chain gang
|
| I hear something sayin' |
