	        G                   C 
On a long, lonesome journey I'm going 
D7                  G 
Now darling please don't you cry 
                           C 
For in shackles and chains they will take me 
     D7            G 
To a prison to stay until I die. 
 
(Chorus) 
     G 
And at night through the bars 
     C 
I will gaze at the stars 
     D7               G 
And I long for your kisses in vain 
                         C       Am 
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow 
 
D7             G 
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains. 
 
Put your arm through the bars once my darling 
Let me kiss those sweet lips that I love best 
For in heartaches you're my consolation 
And in misery my haven of rest.
