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!!!!
(Echoing woman, then Timpany and fade)

Well, buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweele, deedle, dee goes the bird
But the sound of your little voice, darling
Is the sweetest sound I've ever heard
I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty when the sky is blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
But the beauty of you
Sweet as the honey from the honeycomb
Sweet are the grapes from the vine
But there's nothing as sweet as you, darling
And I hope someday you'll be mine

Hope someday you'll be mine
Hope someday you'll be mine
