Lyrics
You hear them moanin their lives away, my work is so hard
give me water
can t ya hear them singin
Working on the highways and by ways, that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Don t you know, i m goin home one of these days
Can t ya hear them singin, all day long they work so hard
my work is so hard
All day long they work so hard, don t you know, all day long they work so hard
That s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang, don t you know
my work is so hard
Don t you know, don t you know
She s my love so dear, don t you know
Don t you know, can t ya hear them singin
Working on the highways and by ways, 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 ga-a-ang, that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
can t ya hear them sayin
Wearing a frown, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang Jackie, you hear them moanin their lives away
That s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang, give me water
That s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang, don t you know
My work is so hard, that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang Jackie, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
But meanwhile i got to work right here, wearing a frown
I m goin home see my woman, don t you know Wilson, give me water
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang, don t you know, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
Till the sun is goin down, that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
My work is so hard, can t ya hear them singin, don t you know
Don t you know, don t you know Chain, don t you know
can t ya hear them singin
don t you know
that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
Can t ya hear them sayin, you hear them moanin their lives away Gang, 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 Wilson, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
Give me water, i m goin home one of these days Wilson, 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
Well don t you know, working on the highways and by ways
Can t ya hear them singin, don t you know, then you hear somebody say
that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
Don t you know, don t you know Wilson, can t ya hear them sayin
Don t you know, don t you know
She s my love so dear, my work is so hard, my work is so hard
Then you hear somebody say, that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang, that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
