Song | Blackjack County Chains |
Artist | Willie Nelson |
Album | Take It to the Limit |
作词 : Lane | |
I was sittin' beside the road in Blackjack County | |
Not knowing that the sheriff paid a bounty | |
For men like me who didn't have a penny to their names | |
So he locked my leg to thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain | |
All we had to eat was bread and water | |
Each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter | |
Black sneak whip would cut our backs when some poor fool complained | |
But we couldn't fight back wearin' 35 pounds of Blackjack County chain | |
And then one night while the sheriff was a sleepin' | |
We all gathered round him slowly creepin' | |
And heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain | |
When we beat him death with thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain | |
Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful | |
That there's nothing but a scar round my ankle | |
Most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again | |
To a black sneak whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain | |
To a black sneak whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain |
