Lyrics
Huh, ah, huh
I hear something saying
Huh, ah, huh, ah
Uh, ah, uh, ah
Well, don't you know?
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 saying
Huh, ah
Huh, ah, uh, ah, uh, ah
Well, don't you know?
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 work so hard
'Til the sun is going down
Working on the highways and by-ways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moaning their lives away
Then you hear somebody say
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
Can't you hear them singing? Mm (huh)
I'm going home, one of these days (huh, huh)
I'm going home, see my woman (huh)
Whom I love so dear (ha)
But meanwhile, I've gotta work right here (huh, ha)
Well, don't you know?
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 saying, mm (huh)
My, my, my, my, my, my, my (ha, huh)
My work is so hard 9ha)
Give me water, I'm thirsty, my, my work is so hard (huh, ha, huh)
Whoa-oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
My work is so hard
