Chain Gang Songtext
von Rick Danko

That′s the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang

Holding on the same
Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh, ah, uh, ah

All day long, they work so hard ′til the sun's going down
Working on the highways and byways and wearing a frown
You hear the morning, their lives away
Then you hear somebody say

(Well, don't you know?) That′s the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
That′s the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang


Mm, I'm going home one of these days
I′m going home to see my woman
Whom I love so dear, but meanwhile
I've got to work right here

(Well, don′t you know?) That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
That′s the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang

Mm-mm, my-my-my-my-my-my-my
My work is so hard, give me water
I'm thirsty, oh, I'm working so hard

That′s the sound of the men
Working on the chain, gang

Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh, ah, uh, ah
Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh, ah, uh, ah
Uh, ah, uh, ah, uh, ah, uh, ah
Uh, ah, uh
