Song Lyrics
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang, i m goin home see my woman, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
Can t ya hear them singin, don t you know, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
Then you hear somebody say, don t you know, can t ya hear them sayin
Can t ya hear them singin, that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang Gang, i m goin home see my woman
Don t you know, till the sun is goin down
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang, can t ya hear them sayin Gang, that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Working on the highways and by ways, she s my love so dear
Can t ya hear them sayin, but meanwhile i got to work right here
But meanwhile i got to work right here, that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang Gang, don t you know
I m goin home one of these days, you hear them moanin their lives away
Don t you know, that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang, give me water
Wearing a frown, give me water
don t you know
don t you know
My work is so hard, but meanwhile i got to work right here
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang, my work is so hard Sam, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
but meanwhile i got to work right here
Don t you know, my work is so hard Cooke, give me water
Can t ya hear them singin, i m goin home see my woman, then you hear somebody say
Don t you know, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
working on the highways and by ways
I m goin home see my woman, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
i m goin home see my woman
Don t you know, well don t you know, don t you know
All day long they work so hard, don t you know Sam, wearing a frown
My work is so hard, don t you know Sam, she s my love so dear
Well don t you know, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang Chain, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
wearing a frown
can t ya hear them singin
don t you know
That s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang, working on the highways and by ways
i m goin home see my woman
don t you know
My work is so hard, well don t you know
don t you know
Don t you know, i m goin home see my woman, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang

My work is so hard, don t you know
That s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang, but meanwhile i got to work right here
i m goin home see my woman
that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang, give me water
My work is so hard, don t you know Cooke, then you hear somebody say
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang, don t you know, well don t you know
My work is so hard, working on the highways and by ways
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang, don t you know, you hear them moanin their lives away
Then you hear somebody say, all day long they work so hard
But meanwhile i got to work right here, can t ya hear them singin
give me water
Can t ya hear them singin, then you hear somebody say, i m goin home see my woman
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang, don t you know
that s the sound of the men working on the chain gang
don t you know
Don t you know, you hear them moanin their lives away, that s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
