Shackles And Chains Lyrics by Marty Robbins
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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
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
