Lyrics:

[Chorus:] That's the sound of the men They are working on the chain gang That's the sound of the men They are working on the chain gang That's the sound of the men They are working on the chain gang All day long they work so hard till the sun's comin' down workin on the highways and biways and wearin a frown I hear them moanin' their lives away and then you hear somebody say [Chorus] Hear someone sayin' whoa I work, work so hard See my woman, who I love so dear, but I, I've got to work right here. [Chorus] My, my, my, my, I work so hard Give me water, I'm thirsty Whoa I, I work so hard You hear them moanin' their lives away, and then you hear somebody say [Chorus 2x]
