Chain Gang

I hear something sayin'.

That's the sound of the men
working down the chain gang,
That's the sound of the men
working on the chain gang.

I hear something sayin'.

That's the sound of the men
working on the chain gang,
That's the sound of the men
working down the chain gang.

All day long, we work so hard
'til the sun is going down
I'm working on the highways and byways
and wearin', wearin' a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Until you hear somebody say

That's the sound of the men
working on the chain gang,
That's the sound of the men
working down the chain gang.

I hear somethin' saying.

I'm going home one of these days
I'm going home to see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I
I've got to work right here.

That's the sound of the men
working on the chain gang,
That's the sound of the men
working down the chain gang.

My my my my oh my my
my work is so hard
give me water,
I'm thirsty oh oh my my
my work is so hard.

That's the sound of the men
working on the chain gang,
That's the sound of the men
working down the chain gang

I hear something sayin'.
