(chorus)
They put me on a chain gang
Chain gang, chain gang

Working on a chain gang all day
They put me on a chain gang
Chain gang, chain gang

Sweating on a chain gang every day

I know just where i went wrong

Woman sings a sweet love song
Wanted money, wanted honey
Chain gang


(chorus)


Late one night i stole some dough
She took it all and let me go
Caught me stranded, got me branded

Chain gang

(chorus)


One fine day, they'll set me free
I'll find a girl who takes to me

Won't be lonely, loves me only
Chain gang


(chorus)

Every day, every day...
