CHAIN GANG

SAM COOKE

Lyrics and music:Sam Cooke

Key:

Ooh ! Aah ! Ooh ! I hear somethin'saying

Ooh ! Aah ! Ooh ! Aah ! Oo h ! Aa h ! Ooh ! Aah !

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

All day long they're singing

Ooh ! Aah ! Ooh ! Aah ! (x2)

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

All day long they work so hard

'till the sun is going down

Working on the highway and byways

and wearing, wearing a frown

You hear them moaning their lives away

Then you hear somebody say

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

Can't you hear them saying

Mm, I 'm going home one of these days

I'm going home see my woman

Whom I love so dear

But meanwhile I got to work right here

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

All day long they're singing

my, m y, my, my, my , my, my work is so hard

Give me water, I'm thirsty

My w ork is so hard (Ad libitum)
