I hear somethin' sayin'
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'
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 by ways
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
But meanwhile
I've got 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 my
My work is so hard
Oh ooo oh ooo, my
My work is so hard
