Otis Redding Chain Gang

Tekst piosenki

That’s the sound of the men
They’re working on the chain gang
That’s the sound of the men
They’re working on the chain gang
That’s the sound of the men
They’re working on the chain gang

All day long they work so hard
Till the sun’s coming down
Working on the highways and by-ways
And wearing a frown

I hear them moaning their lives away
And then you hear somebody say

That’s the sound of the men
They’re working on the chain gang

Hear someone saying
Whoa, I work, work so hard
See my woman, who I love so dear
But I, I’ve got to work right here

That’s the sound of the men
They’re working on the chain gang

My, my, my, my, I work so hard
Give me water, I’m thirsty
Whoa I, I work so hard

You hear them moaning their lives away
And then you hear somebody say

That’s the sound of the men
They’re working on the chain gang
