Shackles And Chains

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On a long lonesome journey I'm going Oh darling, and please don't you cry Though in shackles and chains they will take me To a prison to stay until I die [Chorus] And at night through the bars, I'd gaze at the stars And I long for your kisses in vain A piece of stone I will use for my pillow While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains [Verse 2] Put your arms through the bars once, my darlin' Let me kiss those sweet lips that I love best For in heartache you're my consolation And in misery my haven of rest [Chorus] And at night through the bars, I'd gaze at the stars And I long for your kisses made in vain A piece of stone I will use as my pillow While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
