Shackles and Chains Songtext
von Calvin Russell

On this long and lonesome journey
I am going
But sweet little darlin′
Don't you cry
In shackles and chains they will
Take me
To the prison till the day that
I die
And each night thru the bars
I will gaze at the stars
My dreams dear of you
Will be in vain
This piece of stone I use for my pillow
While I′m sleepin' in my
Shackles and chains


So put your arms thru these bars
Once more baby
I want to kiss those sweet lips
I love best
In my sorrow they've been consolation
And in sadness my haven of rest
And each night thru the bars
I will gaze at these stars
And my dreams dear of you
They′ll be in vain
This piece of stone I had to use for my pillow
While I′m sleeping in my
Shackles and chains

And each night thru the bars
I will gaze at the stars
My dreams dear of you
Will be in vain
This piece of stone I use for my pillow
While I'm sleepin′ in my
Shackles and chains

While I'm sleepin′ in my
Shackles and chains

While I'm sleepin′ in my
Shackles and chains
