Chain Gang

That's the sound of the men
Well don't you know
Hmm, I'm goin' home one of these days

Workin' on the chain gang
See my woman whom I love so dear
Workin' on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the highways and byways

Workin' on the chain gang
I'm goin' home

Can't hear them sayin'
Then you hear somebody say
Well don't you know
And wearing, wearing a frown
Workin' on the chain gang
All day long they're sayin'
That's the sound of the men
Till the sun is going' down
Ho ha ho ha
Ho ha ho ha
All day long they're sayin'

My, my work is so hard
Well don't you know
Hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Workin' on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Meanwhile I have to work right here
Workin' on the chain gang
Ho ha ho ha
All day long they work so hard
That's the sound of the men
Ho ha ho ha
That's the sound of the men
That's the sound of the men
Give me water I'm thirsty
Workin' on the chain gang
My, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard

Workin' on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
You hear them moanin' their lives away
