Chords with lyrics
G+G C majorC
On a long lonesome journey I am going
D7D7 G+G
Oh my sweet little darling don't cry
C majorC
For in shackles and chains they will take me
D7D7 G+G
To a prison to live till I die
C majorC
And each night through the bars I will gaze at the stars
D7D7 G+G
My dreams dear for you so in vain
C majorC
A augmentedA piece of stone I will use for my pillow
D7D7 G+G
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
C majorC
Put your arms through these bars once more darling
D7D7 G+G
Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best
C majorC
In sorrow they were my consolation
D7D7 G+G
And in sadness my heaven of rest
