black & blues - chains lyrics

black & blues – “chains”
[vocals: victor brown]
[background vocals/written by: brian jackson and gil scott-heron]

[verse 1: victor brown]
the first thing that you noticed
in the morning
is that there’s not a cloud
in the sky
and, lord, you can’t help, you can’t help
but remember
your woman, oh, how she
cried all night
how much longer can this go on?
you pushed me past the point of being strong
i got to get away, oh yeah, from these
chains. i got to get a-
-way, yeah, away from
these chains

[verse 2: victor brown]
standing over yonder
is the driver. you know he’ll
be there every morning, cracking the
whip, cracking the whip in his hand, and my
back, my back is bent from dawn until
sunset. i don’t know
how much more of this, more of this i
can stand. lord, e-
-very day, somebody new holding me down
brothers and sisters, what is this h-ll on earth i
have found? i got to
get away, got to get away from these
chains. i got to get a-
-way, yeah, away from
these chains
chains, yeah. off these
chains, yeah. pull off these
chains, yeah. off these
chains, yeah. pull off these
chains, yeah
