Lyrics Chain Gang - The Nylons

Chain Gang

Oh don’t you know
That’s the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
Oh don’t you know
That’s the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard
'Til the sun’s comin' down
Workin' on the highways and byways
And wearin' a frown
I hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody say
Oh I work so.
I work so hard
To see my woman
Who I love so dear
But I, I’ve gotta work right here
Oh I work so.
I work so hard
To see my woman
Who I love so dear
But I, I’ve gotta work right here
My my my my my my my my my my
My work is so hard
Give me water
I’m thirsty
Oh I, oh my work is so hard
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody say
Oh I work so.
I work so hard
To see my woman
Who I love so dear
But I, I’ve gotta work right here
I don’t wanna work on that gang (repeat)
