Ho ha ho ha I hear somethin' sayin' Ho ha ho ha Ho ha ho ha
Well don't you know That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang All day long they're sayin' Ho ha ho ha Ho ha ho ha
Well don't you know That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard Till the sun is going' down Workin' on the highways and byways And wearing, wearing a frown You hear them moanin' their lives away Then you hear somebody say
That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang
Can't hear them sayin' Hmm, I'm goin' home one of these days I'm goin' home See my woman whom I love so dear Meanwhile I have to work right here
Well don't you know That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang
All day long they're sayin' Hmm, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard Give me water I'm thirsty My, my work is so hard My, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard Oh ooo oh ooo, hmm
