2. ■ Chain Gang is a song by the American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke, released
on July 26, 1960. Sam Cooke's his second-biggest American hit, his first
single for RCA Victor after leaving Keen Records earlier in 1959, and was also
his first top 10 hit since "You Send Me" from 1957, and his second-biggest
Pop single. The song was inspired after a chance meeting with an actual
chain-gang of prisoners on a highway, seen while Sam was on tour. According
to legend, Cooke and his brother Charles felt sorry for the men and gave them
several cartons of cigarettes. Cooke was reportedly unsatisfied with the initial
recording sessions of this song at RCA Studios in New York in January 1960,
and came back three months later to redo some of the vocals to get the effect
he wanted.

Give me water, I'm thirsty
My, my work is so hard
Oh my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
