I hear something saying Hoh! Ah! Hoh! Ah! Hoh! Ah! Hoh! Ah! Well, don't you know That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang All day long they're saying Hoh! Ah! Hoh! Ah! Hoh! Ah! Hoh! Ah! Well, don't you know That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang All day long they work so hard till the Sun is going down, down Workin' on the highways and byways and wearing Wearing a frown You hear them moaning Their lives away Then you hear somebody say That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang They're saying I'm going home one of these days I'm going home See my woman whom I love so dear Mean while I have to work right here Well, don't you know That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang All they long they're saying My, my, my work is so hard Give me water I'm thirsty My work is so hard
