Sam Cooke - Chain Gang (Live - Remastered)
Written by:S. Cooke/COOKE
I hear something saying
Well don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain ga-ang
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
All day long they're singing
Well don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain ga-ang
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 highways and byways and wearing wearing a frown
You hear they moaning their lives away
Then you hear somebody say
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain ga-ang
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
Can't you hear them singing mmm
I'm going home one of these days
I'm going home see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I gotta work right here
Well don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain ga-ang
That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang
All day long they're singing mmm
My work is so hard
Give me water
I'm thirsty my work is so hard
Woah ooo
My work is so hard
