Chain Gang - Rick Danko Band 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 singing All day long they work so hard Till the sun's goin' down Working on the highways and by ways And wearing a frown You hear them moanin' their lives away Then you hear somebody say 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 I'm goin' home one of these days I'm goin' home to see my woman Whom I love so dear But meanwhile I've got 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 Ooh my my my my my my my my work is so hard Give me water I'm thirsty Oh I'm workin' so hard That's the sound of the men workin' on the chain gang
