well don’t you know
that’s the sound of the men
working on the chain gang

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 highways and byways and wearing wearing a frown
you hear they moaning their lives away
then you hear somebody say
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
can’t you hear them singing mmm hoh ah

whom i love so dear
but meanwhile i gotta 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 mm hoh ah

give me water i’m thirsty my my work is so hard
woah oh
my my my my my my my my work is so hard
