Lyrics

[Intro]
Huh, ha, huh
I hear something saying
Huh, ha, huh, ha
Huh, ha, huh, ha
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
All day long they're saying
Huh, ha, huh, ha
Huh, ha, huh, ha
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 them moaning their lives away
Then you hear somebody say
[Chorus]
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
[Verse 3]
Can't you hear them saying?
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
All day long they're saying
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Gimme water, I'm thirsty, my, my work is so hard
Woah-oh-oh, my, my, my
My, my, my
My work is so hard
