Chain Gang - Live Songtext
von Sam Cooke

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!)

(Baby)
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
′Til the sun is goin' down
Working on the highways and by ways
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
All day long they're 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

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
Every body help me do it

That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That′s the sound (one more time)
I want everybody out there will help me with this thing
Everybody do it, let me hear, c'mon let me hear you

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
