Ho ha ho ha |
|
I hear somethin' sayin' |
|
Ho ha ho ha |
|
Ho ha ho ha |
|
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 sayin' |
|
Ho ha ho ha |
|
Ho ha ho ha |
|
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 |
|
Workin' on the highways and byways |
|
And wearing, wearing a frown |
|
You hear them moanin' 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 |
|
Can't hear them sayin' |
|
Hmm, I'm goin' home one of these days |
|
I'm goin' home |
|
See my woman whom |
|
I love so dear |
|
Meanwhile |
|
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 day long they're sayin' |
|
Hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard |
|
Give me water |
|
I'm thirsty |
|
My, my work is so hard |
|
My, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard |
|
Oh ooo oh ooo, hmm |
