He Had A Long Chain On Songtext
One night as I lay on my pillow
Moonlight as bright as the dawn
I saw a man come a walkin′
'N he had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
I took him into my kitchen
I gave him a bowl full of meat
A drink and a bite of cold biscuits
Well that′s what I gave him to eat
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
When he had finished his supper
Thanked me again and again
Though it's been years since I've seen him
I still hear him draggin′ those chains
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
Moonlight as bright as the dawn
I saw a man come a walkin′
'N he had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
I took him into my kitchen
I gave him a bowl full of meat
A drink and a bite of cold biscuits
Well that′s what I gave him to eat
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
When he had finished his supper
Thanked me again and again
Though it's been years since I've seen him
I still hear him draggin′ those chains
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
