Marty Robbins - Shackles And Chains lyrics

rate me

On a long lonesome journey I'm going<br />

Throw your arms 'round my neck and don't cry<br />

Though in shackles and chains they will take me<br />

To a prison to stay til I die<br />

<br />

And at night through the bars I will gaze at the stars<br />

And long for your sweet kiss in vain<br />

A piece of stone I will use for my pillow<br />

While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains<br />

<br />

Put your arms through these bars once my darling<br />

Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best<br />

In heartache you're my consolation<br />

And in sorrow my haven of rest<br />

<br />

And at night through the bars I will gaze at the stars<br />

The plans that we made were in vain<br />

A piece of stone I will use for my pillow<br />

While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
