[1] On a long lonesome journey I'm [4] going
Oh [5] darlin' please don't you [1] cry
For in shackles and chains they will [4] take me
To a [5] prison to [5] stay 'til I [1] die
And at night through the bars I will gaze at the stars
And dream of your kisses 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 darlin'
Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best
For in heartache you're my consolation
In sorrow my haven of rest
[1] On a long lonesome journey I'm [4] going
Oh [5] darlin' please don't you [1] cry
For in shackles and chains they will [4] take me
To a [5] prison to [5] stay 'til I [1] die
And at night through the bars I will gaze at the stars
And dream of your kisses 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 darlin'
Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best
For in heartache you're my consolation
In sorrow my haven of rest
