Chain Gang
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hear something sayin'.
That's the sound of the men, working down the chain gang,
That's the sound of the men, working on the chain gang.
I hear something sayin'.
That's the sound of the men, working on the chain gang,
That's the sound of the men, working down the chain gang.
All day long, we work so hard 'til the sun is going down,
I'm working on the highways and byways and wearin', wearin' a frown,
You hear them moanin' their lives away,
Until you hear somebody say,
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang,
That's the sound of the men working down the chain gang.
I hear somethin' saying.
I'm going home one of these days,
I'm going home to see my woman,
Whom I love so dear,
But meanwhile I, I've got to work right here.
That's the sound of the men, working on the chain gang,
That's the sound of the men, working down the chain gang.
My my my my oh my my, my work is so hard, give me water,
I'm thirsty oh, oh my my, my work is so hard.
That's the sound of the men, working on the chain gang,
That's the sound of the men, working down the chain gang,
I hear something sayin'.
