Shackles and Chains

On a long lonesome journey I'm going
Oh darling, please don't you cry
For 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 kisses in vain
A bed 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
And long for your kisses in vain
A bed of stone I will use for my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
