Marty Robbins - Shackles and Chains lyrics

[Marty Robbins - Shackles and Chains 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
