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!!!!
