Chain Gang

Ho ha ho ha

I hear somethin' sayin'

Ho ha ho ha

Ho ha ho ha

Well don't you know

That's the sound of the men

Workin' on the chain gang

That's the sound of the men

Workin' on the chain gang

All day long they're sayin'

Ho ha ho ha

Ho ha ho ha

Well don't you know

That's the sound of the men

Workin' on the chain gang

That's the sound of the men

Workin' on the chain gang

All day long they work so hard

Till the sun is going' down

Workin' on the highways and byways

And wearing, wearing a frown

You hear them moanin' their lives away

Then you hear somebody say

That's the sound of the men

Workin' on the chain gang

That's the sound of the men

Workin' on the chain gang

Can't hear them sayin'

Hmm, I'm goin' home one of these days

I'm goin' home

See my woman whom I love so dear

Meanwhile I have to work right here

Well don't you know

That's the sound of the men

Workin' on the chain gang

That's the sound of the men

Workin' on the chain gang

All day long they're sayin'

Hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard

Give me water I'm thirsty

My, my work is so hard

My, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard

Oh ooo oh ooo, hmm
