Chain Gang Songtext
von Tim Maia

(Hooh! Aah!) (hooh! Aah!)
(Hooh! Aah!) (hooh! Aah!)

(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

(Hooh! Aah!) (hooh! Aah!)
(Hooh! Aah!) (hooh! Aah!)

(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

All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin′ down
Working 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
Working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang

(Hooh! Aah!) (hooh! Aah!)
(Hooh! Aah!) (hooh! Aah!)

(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

I'm goin' home one of these days
I′m goin′ home, see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile
I got to work right here

(Hooh! Aah!) (hooh! Aah!)
(Well, don't you know)

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I′m thirsty
My work is so hard
