I hear somethin' sayin'

 (hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
 (hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)


 (Well, don't you know)
 That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
 That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

 All day long they're singin'
 (hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
 (hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)

 (Well, don't you know)
 That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
 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 wearing, wearing a frown
 You hear them moanin' their lives away
 Then you hear somebody sa-ay

 That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
 That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

 Can't ya hear them singin'
 Mm, I'm goin' home one of these days
 I'm goin' home see my woman
 Whom I love so dear
 But meanwhile I got to work right he-ere

 (Well, don't you know)
 That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
 That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

 All day long they're singin', mm
 My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
 Give me water, I'm thirsty

 FADE
 My work is so hard
