《Blackjack County Chains》歌词

[00:00:00] Blackjack County Chains - Christy Moore

[00:00:01] Written by：Red Lane

[00:00:33] I was sittin' beside the road in black jack county

[00:00:39] Not knowing that the sheriff paid a bounty

[00:00:46] For men like me that hadn't got a penny to their name

[00:00:54] So he locked my leg to 35 pounds of black jack county

[00:01:09] And all we had to eat was bread and water

[00:01:15] Each day we built the road a mile and a quarter

[00:01:23] A black snake whip would cut the back of any man who

[00:01:28] Complained

[00:01:31] But we couldn't fight back wearing 35 pounds of black

[00:01:35] Jack county chains

[00:01:46] One night while the sheriff he was sleeping

[00:01:52] We all gathered round him slowly creeping

[00:01:59] Heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold

[00:02:04] Rain

[00:02:07] When we beat him to death with 35 pounds of black jack

[00:02:11] County chains

[00:02:21] Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful

[00:02:27] There's nothing left but a scar around my ankle

[00:02:34] But most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again

[00:02:42] To a black snake whip and 35 pounds of black jack county

[00:02:47] Chains

[00:03:19] To a black snake whip and 35 pounds of black jack county

[00:03:24] Chains

[00:03:27] To a black snake whip and 35 pounds of black jack county

[00:03:32] Chains

[00:03:35] To a black snake whip and 35 pounds of black jack county

[00:03:41] Chains
