Shackels And Chains Songtext

von Calvin Russell

On a long and lonesome journey
I'll be goin
But sweet little darlin
Don't you cry
In shackels 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
Shackels 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 saddness 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 a pillow

While I'm sleeping in my

Shackels and chains
