Shackles and Chains |
| On a long lonesome Journey I’m going |
| Oh darling, and please don’t you cry |
| Though in shackles and chains they will take me |
| In prison to stay till I die |
| And at night through the bars |
| I gaze at the stars |
| And I long for your kisses in vain |
| A piece of stone I will use for my pillow |
| While I’m sleeping in shackles and chains |
| Put your arms thru these bars once, my darlin' |
| Let me kiss those sweet lips that I love best |
| In heartache you’re my consolation |
| In sorrow my haven of rest |
| And at night through the bars |
| I will gaze at the stars |
| The plans that we made were in vain |
| A piece of stone I will use as my pillow |
| While I’m sleeping in shackles and chains |
