Huh huh huh I hear something saying huh
Ha well don't you know
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 saying
Huh well don't you know
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 going down
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing wearing a frown
You hear them moaning their lives away
And 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
Can't you hear them saying hmm
I'm going home
One of these days I'm going home
See my woman whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I gotta 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
All day long they saying hmm
Huh my my my my my my
Huh my work is so hard
Give me water huh I'm thirsty huh my my work is so hard
Oh my my my my my work is so hard
Give me water I'm thirsty
Huh my my my my my my
