Chain Gang

That's the sound of the men They're working on the chain gang That's the sound of the men They're working on the chain gang That's the sound of the men They're working on the chain gang All day long they work so hard Till the sun's coming down Working on the highways and by-ways And wearing a frown I hear them moaning their lives away And then you hear somebody say That's the sound of the men They're working on the chain gang Hear someone saying Whoa, I work, work so hard See my woman, who I love so dear But I, I've got to work right here That's the sound of the men They're working on the chain gang My, my, my, my, I work so hard Give me water, I'm thirsty Whoa I, I work so hard You hear them moaning their lives away And then you hear somebody say That's the sound of the men They're working on the chain gang
