Chain Gang

They put me on a chain gang, chain gang, chain gang
Working on the chain gang all day
They put me on a chain gang, chain gang, chain gang
Straining on the chain gang every day

I know just where I went wrong
I won't sing a sweet love song
She wanted money, wanted honey
Chain gang

One night I stole some dough
She took it all and she let me go
She caught me stranded, got me branded
Chain gang

They put me on a chain gang, chain gang, chain gang
Working on the chain gang all day
They put me on a chain gang, chain gang, chain gang
Straining on the chain gang every day

One fine day, well, they'll set me free
I'll find a gal who takes to me
I won't be lonely, love me only
Chain gang

They put me on a chain gang, chain gang, chain gang
Working on the chain gang all day
They put me on a chain gang, chain gang, chain gang
Straining on the chain gang every day

Every day
Every day
