On a long lonesome journey I'm goingThrow your arms 'round my neck and don't cryThough in shackles and chains they will take meTo a prison to stay til I die And at night through the bars I will gaze at the starsAnd long for your sweet kiss in vainA piece of stone I will use for my pillowWhile I'm sleeping in shackles and chains Put your arms through these bars once my darlingLet me kiss those sweet lips I love bestIn heartache you're my consolationAnd in sorrow my haven of rest And at night through the bars I will gaze at the starsThe plans that we made were in vainA piece of stone I will use for my pillowWhile I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
