knitters - long chain on lyrics

one night, as i lay on my pillow
moonlight as bright as the dawn
and i saw a man a-walkin’
he had a long chain on
i heard his chains a-clankin’
and then a mournful sound
welded around his body
draggin’ along the ground
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
he stood beside my window
he looked at me and he said
“i am so tired and hungry
give me a bite of your bread”
he didn’t look like a robber
he didn’t look like a thief
his voice was soft as the moonlight
his face full of sorrow and grief
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
i went into my kitchen
and got him a bowl full of meat
a drink and a pan of cold biscuits
that’s what i gave him to eat
though he was tired and hungry
a bright light came over his face
he bowed his head in the moonlight
he said a beautiful grace
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
well, i fetched my hammer and chisel
offered to set him free
he shook his head and said softly
“well, i can’t sleep best, let it be”
when he had finished his supper
he thanked me again and again
though it’s been years since i’ve saw him
no, i still hear him draggin’ his chain
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
