La Canción De La Semana "CHAIN GANG" Sam Cooke


Y como estaba hablando de currar pues me ha venido a la mente esta canción; "Chain Gang", que podría traducirse como "grupo de presos" y que precisamente de ello trata. Esa típica imagen de los presos con grilletes trabajando en carreteras... en fin.

Este temazo fue editado en single en 1960 y llegó al #2 en la lista del Billboard.
Siempre es un buen momento para escuchar al maravilloso Sam Cooke y esta ha sido una excusa -facilona- para traerlo de nuevo a esta sección.

Feliz escucha, feliz semana.


I hear somethin' sayin'
(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they're singin'
(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
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 wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody sa-ay

That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

Can't ya hear them singin'
Mm, I'm goin' home one of these days
I'm goin' home see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I got to work right he-ere

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they're singin', mm
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
My work is so hard
