Chain Gang

Workin' on the chain gang
Workin' on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Ho ha ho ha
My, my work is so hard
Ho ha ho ha

Workin' on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
That's the sound of the men

Give me water I'm thirsty
Hmm, I'm goin' home one of these days
All day long they're sayin'
Well don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Ho ha ho ha
Well don't you know
Workin' on the chain gang
See my woman whom I love so dear
My, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
That's the sound of the men

All day long they work so hard
And wearing, wearing a frown
That's the sound of the men
Well don't you know

That's the sound of the men
All day long they're sayin'
Till the sun is going' down
Hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang

I'm goin' home
Then you hear somebody say
Workin' on the chain gang
Workin' on the chain gang
Meanwhile I have to work right here
Ho ha ho ha

Can't hear them sayin'
Workin' on the highways and byways
Workin' on the chain gang
You hear them moanin' their lives away
