Shackles And Chains

On a long lonesome journey I’m going

Oh darling please don’t you cry

In these 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

And dream of your kisses in vain

A piece of stone I will use for my pillow

While I’m sleeping in shackles and chains

Put your arms through the bars once my darling

Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best

For in heartache you’re my consolation

In sorrow my haven of rest
