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 goin’ down
working on the highways and byways and wearin’ wearin’ a frown
hear them moanin’ 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
he don’t love you like i love you
if he did he wouldn’t break your heart
he don’t love you like i love you
he’s trying to tear us apart
gonna find her i’m gonna find her i’m gonna find her
oh if i have to climb a mountain you know i will
and if i have to swim a river you know i will
and i might find her hidin’ up on blueberry hill
how am i gonna find her child you know i will
cause i’m goin’ searchin’
i’m goin’ searchin’
searchin’ everywhere
just like some northwest mountie
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 goin’ down
working on the highways and byways and wearin’ wearin’ a frown
hear them moanin’ 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
that’s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
