- Songwriters: Sam Cooke
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
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
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
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
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
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
I don't wanna work on that gang
I don't wanna work on that gang
