Ted Hawkins - Chain Gang

I hear somethin' sayin'

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they're singin'

~~~♫♫♫ ~~~

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin' down
Working on the highways and byways
And wearin', wearin' a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
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

I can hear them sayin'
I'm goin' home one of these days
I'm goin' home see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I've got to work right here

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

I can hear them sayin'
My work is so hard, my my my my my my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
My work is so hard, my my my my my my work is so hard
Give me water
