I hear something saying
ooh, aah, ooh, aah,
ooh, aah, ooh, aah,

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
ooh, aah, ooh, aah,
ooh, aah, ooh, aah,

(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,
’till the sun is going down
Working on the highway 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 you hear them saying
Mmm I’m going home one of these days
I’m going home see my woman whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I got to work right here

(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
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

Wooh my my, my, my, my, my, my my work is so hard
Give me water, I’m thirsty
My my work is so hard

Blues, Soul
