Текст песни Chain Gang, Sam Cooke

I hear somethin sayin

(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)

(Well, don t you know)
That s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they re singin
(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)

(Well, don t you know)
That s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin down
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moanin their lives away
Then you hear somebody sa-ay

That s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang

Can t ya hear them singin
Mm, I m goin home one of these days
I m goin home see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I got to work right he-ere

(Well, don t you know)
That s the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That s the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they re singin , mm
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I m thirsty
My work is so hard
