Shackles and chains - Calvin Russell

On this long and lonesome journey

I am going

But sweet little darlin'

Don’t you cry

In shackles and chains they will

Take me

To the prison till the day that

I die

And each night thru the bars

I will gaze at the stars

My dreams dear of you

Will be in vain

This piece of stone I use for my pillow

While I’m sleepin' in my

Shackles and chains

So put your arms thru these bars

Once more baby

I want to kiss those sweet lips

I love best

In my sorrow they’ve been consolation

And in sadness my haven of rest

And each night thru the bars

I will gaze at these stars

And my dreams dear of you

They’ll be in vain

This piece of stone I had to use for my pillow

While I’m sleeping in my

Shackles and chains

And each night thru the bars

I will gaze at the stars

My dreams dear of you

Will be in vain

This piece of stone I use for my pillow

While I’m sleepin' in my

Shackles and chains

While I’m sleepin' in my

Shackles and chains

While I’m sleepin' in my

Shackles and chains
