Chain Gang - Written by - Sam Cooke

He Don't Love You - Written by - J. Butler, C. Mayfield & C. Carter

Searchin' - Written by - Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they work so hard till the sun is goin' down

Working on the highways and byways and wearin', wearin' a frown

Hear them moanin' their lives away

Then you hear somebody say

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

He don't love you, like I love you

If he did he wouldn't break your heart

He don't love you, like I love you

He's trying to tear us apart

Gonna find her, I'm gonna find her, I'm gonna find her

Oh, if I have to climb a mountain, you know I will

And if I have to swim a river, you know I will

And I might find her hidin' up on Blueberry Hill

How am I gonna find her, child, you know I will

Cause I'm goin' searchin'

I'm goin' searchin'

Searchin' everywhere

Just like some Northwest Mountie

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they work so hard till the sun is goin' down

Working on the highways and byways and wearin', wearin' a frown

Hear them moanin' their lives away

Then you hear somebody say

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang (5 x's)
