Chain Gang

Huh, hah, huh, I hear something saying
Huh, hah, huh, hah
Huh, hah, huh, hah

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, hah, huh, hah
Huh, hah, huh, hah

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 you hear them saying, mm (huh, hah)
I'm going home one of these days (huh, hah)
I'm going home, see my woman (huh, hah)
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile, I've gotta work right here (huh, hah)

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, hah)
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard (huh, hah)
Give me water, I'm thirsty, my, my work is so hard (huh, hah)
Whoa-oh, my, my, my, my, my, my
My work is so hard, oh
