Lyrics
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard
Till the sun's comin' down
Workin on the highways and biways
And wearin a frown
I hear them moanin' their lives away
And then you hear somebody say
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
Hear someone sayin'
Whoa I work, work so hard
See my woman, who I love so dear
But I, I've got to work right here
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
My, my, my, my, I work so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
Whoa I, I work so hard
You hear them moanin' their lives away
And then you hear somebody say
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
