(hooh! aah!) 4x

(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 (hooh! aah! 4x)

(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 highway and byways
and wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moaning their live 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, 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

(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
my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I´m thirsty
