Lyrics:

Oh don't you know That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang Oh don't you know That's the sound of the men Workin' on the chain gang All day long they work so hard 'Til the sun's comin' down Workin' on the highways and byways And wearin' a frown I hear them moanin' their lives away Then you hear somebody say (Chorus) Oh I work so.. I work so hard To see my woman Who I love so dear But I, I've gotta work right here (Chorus) My my my my my my my my my my My work is so hard Give me water I'm thirsty Oh I, oh my work is so hard You hear them moanin' their lives away Then you hear somebody say (Chorus) I don't wanna work on that gang (repeat)
