E                              A
On a long lonesome journey I'm going
        B7                           E
Come my Darling nd please don't you cry
                                       A
Tho in Shackles and Chain's they will take me
     B7                   E
To a Prison to stay til I die



And a night thru the bars
        A
I will gaze at the Stars
     B7                      E
And long for your kisses in vane
                                    A
A piece of stone I will use as my pillow
             B7                         E
And my Companion will be Shackles and Chain's


                                       A
Put your arms thru these bars once my Darling
        B7                                E
Let me kiss those sweet lips that I love so
                               A
In heartache you're my consolation 
    B7                 E
In sorrow my Haven of rest



And a night thru the bars
        A
I will gaze at the Stars
     B7                      E
And long for your kisses in vane
                                   A
A piece of stone I will use as my pillow
             B7                         E
And my Companion will be Shackles and Chain's
