Shackles and Chains [Take 11, Complete][Excerpt] Lyrics
On a long lonesome journey I'm going
Throw your arms 'round my neck and don't cry
Though in shackles and chains they will take me
To a prison to stay til I die
And at night through the bars I will gaze at the stars
And long for your sweet kiss in vain
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
Put your arms through these bars once my darling
Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best
In heartache you're my consolation
And 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 for my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
Throw your arms 'round my neck and don't cry
Though in shackles and chains they will take me
To a prison to stay til I die
And long for your sweet kiss in vain
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best
In heartache you're my consolation
And in sorrow my haven of rest
The plans that we made were in vain
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
