Chain Gang — текст песни (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
