I was in chains, chained to my love   Lying sleeping below the silver trees   Then up comes Davey and says   You must be running boy      Now I must fly, now I must fly   First to my darling down in the valley   I cried madly, hey, I?m here at your door   She says, John, John now be gone from my door   You and your misery I?ll taste no more      I was in chains and bound for Australia   Dreaming wildly about my life before   Of my distrust all across the dreadful ocean   And of my true love I?ll lay no more   And of my true love I?ll lay no more      Oh, I was in chains and bound for Australia   Dreaming wildly about my life before   Of my distrust all across the dreadful ocean   And of my true love I?ll lay no more   And of my true love I?ll lay no more      Oh the, oh the future   The future before me, oh      [Incomprehensible]   [Incomprehensible]   [Incomprehensible]
