Go Back

Chain Gang

Words & Music by Sal Quasha, Herb Yakus

Lyrics:

[Oh don't you know]
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
[Oh don't you know]
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang

All day long they work so hard
Till the sun's comin' down
Workin on the highways and byways
And wearin a frown

I hear them moanin' their lives away
And then you hear somebody say
* Repeat

Hear someone sayin'
Whoa I work, work so hard
See my woman, who I love so dear,
But I, I've got to work right here.

* Repeat

My, my, my, my, I work so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
Whoa I, I work so hard

You hear them moanin' their lives away,
And then you hear somebody say

* Repeat

* Repeat
