Ho Ha Ho Ha
  I hear someon sayin'
  Ho Ha Ho Ha
  Ho Ha Ho Ha
  
  Well don't you know
  That's the sound of the men
  Workin' on the chain gang
  That's the sound of the men
  Workin' on the chain gang
  
  All day long they're saying
  Ho Ha Ho Ha
  Ho Ha Ho Ha
  
  Well don't you know
  That's the sound of the men
  Workin' on the chain gang
  That's the sound of the men
  Workin' on the chain gang
  
  All day long they work so hard
  'Till the sun is going down, down
  Workin' on the highways 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
  Workin' on the chain gang
  That's the sound of the men
  Workin' on the chain gang
  
  They're saying...
  I'm going home one of these days
  I'm going home
  See my woman whom I love so dear
  Mean while
  I have to work right here
  
  Well don't you know
  That's the sound of the men
  Workin' on the chain gang
  That's the sound of the men
  Workin' on the chain gang
  
  All they long they're saying...
  My, my, my work is so hard
  Give me water
  I'm thirsty
  My work is so hard
