shackles and chains
Select language to translate this lyric
(Yodel)
On a long lonesome journey I'm going
Come my darling, and please don't you 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 as my pillow
My companions will be shackles and chains
Put your arms through these bars once my darling,
Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best,
In heartaches you're my consolation
In sorrow my haven of rest
And at night through the bars I'll gaze at the stars
The plans that we've made were in vain
A piece of stone I will use as my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
(Yodel)
