David Alan Coe Shackles And Chains Lyrics

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)
