The Sound of My Man Lyrics

The Sound of My Man (Chain Gang)

One, two, one, two, tree

(Hoh! Ah! Hoh!)
I hear him saying

(Hoh! Ah! Hoh! Ah! Hoh! Ah! Hoh! Ah!)
(Well don't you know)
That's the sound of my man,
Working on the chain, ga-ang
That's the sound of my man,
Working on the chain, gang

All day long he works so hard
Till the sun is going down
Worked on the highways and byways and wearing,
Wearing a frown
Hear him moaning his live away
I can hear him every day

(Well don't you know)
That's the sound of my man,
Working on the chain, ga-ang
That's the sound of my man,
Working on the chain, gang

Can't you hear him singing,
Mmm (Hoh!)
I'm going home (Ah!)
One of these days (Hoh!)
He's coming home (Ah!)
I'm his woman (Hoh!)
Whom he loves so deep (Ah!)
That's why (Hoh!)
I'm gonna work right here (Ah!)

(Well don't you know)
That's the sound of my man,
Working on the chain, ga-ang
That's the sound of my man,
Working on the chain, gang

All day long I'm praying
Please (Hoh!)
Plea—se (Ah!)
Please (Hoh!)
Don't work him so hard (Ah!)
Give him water (Hoh!)
He's thirsty (Ah!)
Ooooo (Hoh!)
Don't work him so hard (Ah!)
He-s (Hoh!)
Been … (Ah!)
So hard (Hoh!)
Don't work him so hard (Ah!)
Plea-se (Hoh! Ah!)
Mr. Chainman (Hoh!)
Don't work him so hard (Ah!)
Ooooo…
