I hear something saying

(Ah)

(Hu)
(Ah)

(Hu)
(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 singing
(Hu)
(Ah)

(Hu)
(Ah)

(Hu)
(Ah)

(Hu)
(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 byways 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 ya hear them singing
Mmm
(Hu)
(Ah)
I'm going home one of these days
(Hu)
(Ah)
I'm going home to see my woman whom I love so dear
(Hu)
(Ah)
But meanwhile I got to work right here
(Hu)
(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 singing
Mmm
(Hu)
(Ah)
My

(Hu)
(Ah)
My

My
My work is so hard
(Hu)
(Ah)
Give me water
I'm thirsty
(Hu)
(Ah)
My work is so hard
Whoa
My
