I hear somethin' sayin'
|
|
(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
|
(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
|
|
(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 gang
|
|
All day long they're singin'
|
(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
|
(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
|
|
(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 gang
|
|
All day long they work so hard
|
Till the sun is goin' down
|
Working on the highways and byways
|
And wearing, wearing a frown
|
You hear them moanin' their lives away
|
Then you hear somebody sa-ay
|
|
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 singin'
|
Mm, I'm goin' home one of these days
|
I'm goin' home see my woman
|
Whom I love so dear
|
But meanwhile I got to work right he-ere
|
|
(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 gang
|
|
All day long they're singin', mm
|
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
|
Give me water, I'm thirsty
|
My work is so hard
|
