Pow Wow - Chain Gang lyrics

(S.Cooke) Well, don't you know That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang Well, don't you know 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 by ways And wearing, wearing a frown You hear them moanin' their lives away Then you hear somebody say Well don't you know That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang Well, don't you know That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang Can't ya hear them singin' Well, don't you know That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang Well, don't you know That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang Can't ya hear them sayin' I'm goin' home one of these days I'm goin' home see my woman She's my love so dear But meanwhile I got to work right here Well, don't you know That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang Well, don't you know That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang Can't ya hear them singin' My work is so hard Give me water, I'm thirsty My work is so hard Give me water...
