arlo guthrie - shackles and chains lyrics
Loading...
by jimmie davis
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
in prison to stay till i die
and at night through the bars
i 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
put your arms thru these bars once, my darlin’
let me kiss those sweet lips that i love best
in heartache you’re my consolation
in sorrow my haven of rest
and at night through the bars
i will gaze at the stars
the plans that we made were in vain
a piece of stone i will use as my pillow
while i’m sleeping in shackles and chains
