"Chain Gang" by Sam Cooke

Hoo ahh, hoo ahh
I hear something saying
Hoo aah, hoo ahh
Hoo ahh, hoo ahh

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're singing
Hoo aah, hoo ahh
Hoo ahh, hoo ahh

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
Til the sun is going down
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moaning 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

Can't you hear them singing
Mm, I'm going home one of these days
I'm going home see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile, I 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

All day long, they're singing, mmm
My my my my my
My my my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
My, my work is so hard
