That's the sound of the men
That's the sound of the men
That's the sound of the men
Give me water I'm thirsty
Well don't you know
Workin' on the chain gang
All day long they're sayin'
Workin' on the chain gang
Workin' on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard
Ho ha ho ha
That's the sound of the men
My, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Workin' on the chain gang
Workin' on the highways and byways
That's the sound of the men
That's the sound of the men
That's the sound of the men
Well don't you know
Ho ha ho ha
Well don't you know
Hmm, I'm goin' home one of these days
And wearing, wearing a frown
Workin' on the chain gang
Can't hear them sayin'
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Meanwhile I have to work right here
All day long they're sayin'
Ho ha ho ha
Till the sun is going' down
Workin' on the chain gang
I'm goin' home
That's the sound of the men
See my woman whom I love so dear
My, my work is so hard
Workin' on the chain gang
Hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Workin' on the chain gang
Ho ha ho ha
Then you hear somebody say
