That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gangAll day long they work so hard
Till the sun's comin' down
Workin on the highways and biways
And wearin a frownI hear them moanin' their lives away
And then you hear somebody say
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gangHear someone sayin'
Whoa I work, work so hard
See my woman, who I love so dear
But I, I've got to work right hereThat's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
My, my, my, my, I work so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
Whoa I, I work so hardYou hear them moanin' their lives away
And then you hear somebody sayThat's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
They are working on the chain gangThat's the sound of the men
