chain gang

that's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

that's the sound of the men working on the chain gang. all day long they're singin'

all day long they work so hard till the sun's goin' down

working on the highways and byways and wearing a frown

you hear them moanin' their lives away then you hear somebody say. that's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang

that's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

that's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

that's the sound of the men working on the chain gang. i'm goin' home one of these days

i'm goin' home

see my woman

whom i love so dear but meanwhile i 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 on the chain gang. my

that's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
