G C

On a long lonesome journey I am going

Oh my sweet little darling don't cry

For in shackles and chains they will take me

To a prison to live till I die

And each night through the bars I will gaze at the stars

My dreams dear for you so 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 more darling

Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best

In sorrow they were my consolation

D7 G

And in sadness my heaven of rest
