Lyrics:

[Chorus:]That's the sound of the menThey are working on the chain gangThat's the sound of the menThey are working on the chain gangThat's the sound of the menThey are working on the chain gangAll day long they work so hardtill the sun's comin' downworkin on the highways and biwaysand wearin a frownI hear them moanin' their lives awayand then you hear somebody say[Chorus]Hear someone sayin'whoa I work, work so hardSee my woman, who I love so dear,but I, I've got to work right here.[Chorus]My, my, my, my, I work so hardGive me water, I'm thirstyWhoa I, I work so hardYou hear them moanin' their lives away,and then you hear somebody say[Chorus 2x]
