They put me on the chain gang
|
Chain gang, chain gang
|
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day
|
They put me on the chain gang
|
Chain gang, chain gang
|
Slavin' on a chaing gang
|
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
|
|
I know just where I went wrong
|
When one sings a true love song
|
Wanted money
|
Wanted honey
|
Chain gang
|
|
They put me on the chain gang
|
Chain gang, chain gang
|
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day
|
They put me on the chain gang
|
Chain gang, chain gang
|
Slavin' on a chaing gang
|
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
|
|
[Woman sings wailing verse]
|
|
Late one night I stole some dough
|
She took it all and let me go
|
Got me stranded and got me branded
|
Chain gang
|
|
Put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang
|
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day
|
They put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang
|
Sweatin' on a chain gang
|
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
|
|
[Echoing woman wail again]
|
|
One fine day while they'll set me free
|
I'll find a girl, well, that takes to me
|
Won't be lonely, love me only
|
Chain gang
|
|
They put me on the chain gang
|
Chain gang, chain gang
|
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day
|
They put me on the chain gang,
|
Chain gang, chain gang
|
Sweatin' on a chain gang
|
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
|
[Echoing woman, then Timpany and fade]
|
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
|
[Echoing woman, then Timpany and fade]
|
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y dayyyyyyy
|
[Echoing woman, then Timpany and fade]
