| On a long lonesome journey I am going oh my sweet little darling don’t cry
|
| For in shackles and chains they will take me to a prison to live till I die
|
| And each night through the bars I will gaze at the stars
|
| My dreams dear for you so in vain
|
| A piece of stone I will use for my pillow while I’m sleeping in shackles and
|
| chains
|
| Put your arms through these bars once more darling
|
| Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best
|
| In sorrow they were my consolation and in sadness my heaven of rest
|
| And at night through the bars… |
