Jackie Wilson lyrics : "Chain Gang"

With count basie

Don't you know

That's the sound of the men
They're working on the chain gang
Woah, lord, the sound of the men

They're working on the chain gang

All day long, they're singing


Don't you know
The sound of the men

They're working on the chain gang
Can't you hear them
They're out there working

They're working on the chain gang

All day long, they work so hard

Til the sun is going down
Working on the highway and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown


You'll hear them
Moaning their lives away

Then you might hear
Somebody say now


That's the sound of the men
They're working on the chain gang
Woah, lord, the sound of the men

Working on the chain gang

All day long, they're going


That's the sound of the men
Working on the chain gang

Every day, that's the sound of men
They're working on the chain gang


This is what they're saying
I'm going home one of these days
I'm going home, yes, i am

See my woman, the one i love so dear
But in the meanwhile, people
You know i gotta work right here


The sound of the men
They're working on the chain...
