Chain Gang

(Hoh! Ah!) I hear something saying (Hoh! Ah!)

(Hoh! Ah!)(Well don't you know)

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, ga-ang

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, gang

All day long they're singing (Hoh! Ah!)

(Well don't you know)

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, ga-ang

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, gang

All day long they work so hard till the sun is going down

Working on the highways and byways and wearing, wearing a frown

You hear they moaning their lives away

Then you hear somebody say

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, ga-ang

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, gang

Can't you hear them singing, mmm (Hoh! Ah!)

I'm going home one of these days

I'm going home, see my woman

Whom I love so dear

But meanwhile I gotta work right here

(Well don't you know)

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, ga-ang

That's the sound of the men,

Working on the chain, gang

All day long they're singing, mmm (Hoh! Ah!)

My work is so hard

Give me water

I'm thirsty, my work is so hard

Woah ooo

My work is so hard
