David Allan Coe - Shackles And Chains lyrics

On a long lonesome journey I am going So my sweet little darling don't cry For in shackles and chains they will take me To a prison to live till I die (chorus) And each night threw the bars I will gaze at the stars My dreams dear of you so in vain A peice of stone I will use for my pillow While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains Put your arms threw these bars once more darling Let me kiss your sweet lips I love best For in sorrow they were my conculution And in sadness my haven of rest (repeat chorus)
