SHACKLES AND CHAINS

A

ON A LONG LONESOME JOURNEY I'M GOING
OH DARLING PLEASE DON'T YOU CRY
FOR IN SHACKLES AND CHAINS THEY WILL TAKE ME
TO A PRISON TO STAY TIL I DIE

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 FOR MY PILLOW
WHILE I'M SLEEPING IN SHACKLES AND CHAINS

PUT YOUR ARMS THROUGH THESE BARS ONCE MY DARLING
LET ME KISS THOSE SWEET LIPS I LOVE BEST
FOR IN HEARTACHE YOU'RE MY CONSOLATION
AND 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 FOR MY PILLOW
MY COMPANIONS WILL BE SHACKLES AND CHAINS
