G C On a long lonesome journey I am going D7 G Oh my sweet little darling don't cry C For in shackles and chains they will take me D7 G To a prison to live till I die C And each night through the bars I will gaze at the stars D7 G My dreams dear for you so in vain C A piece of stone I will use for my pillow D7 G While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains C Put your arms through these bars once more darling D7 G Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best C In sorrow they were my consolation D7 G And in sadness my heaven of rest
