Ho ha ho ha
I hear somethin' sayin'
Ho ha ho ha
Ho ha ho haWell 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 haWell 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 gangAll 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 sayThat's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gangCan'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 hereWell 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 gangAll 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
