Chain Gang
Sam Cooke
Ooh ! Aah ! Ooh ! I hear somethin'saying Ooh ! Aah ! Ooh ! Aah ! Ooh ! Aah ! Ooh ! Aah ! 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 Ooh ! Aah ! Ooh ! Aah ! (x2) 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 going down Working on the highway 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 saying 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 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 my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard Give me water, I'm thirsty My work is so hard (Ad libitum)
