They put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang;
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day,
They put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang;
slavin' on a chaing gang e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
I know just where I went wrong,
when one sings a true love song,
wanted money,
wanted honey,
a-chain gang,
(woman sings wailing verse - almost angelic with echo)
So now, they put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang;
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day,
They put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang;
sweatin' on a chain gang e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
One fine day they'll set me free;
I know just where I will be,
Won't be lonely, love me only,
Chain gang
(echoing woman wail again)
They put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang;
Workin' on a chain gang al-ll-all day,
They put me on the chain gang, chain gang, chain gang;
sweatin' on a chain gang e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y day
(slower this last time
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver'y dayyyyyyy!!!!
