Have you heard the dogs at night so mewhe re on the hill ?
Chasing some poor crimi nal & I gu ess they're out to ki ll.
Oh there must be shackles on hi s feet and mo ther in his eyes .
Stumbling thru devil dark with the ho und pack in full cr y.
Have mercy on th e criminal w ho is running from the law.
Are you b lind t o the wind of change? Don 't you he ar him anymore?
Praying L ord you go tta h elp me. I am never gonna sin again
Just take these chains from round my legs. Sweet Jesus I'll be your frien d.
Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam
while you l ie on a cold damp gr ound?
You're taking in the face of a rifle butt
while the wardens hold you down.
And you've never seen a frien d in years. Oh, it tu rns y our heart to ston e.
You jump the walls and the dogs run free,
and the grave's gonna be your home.
Have mercy on th e criminal w ho is running from the law.
Are you b lind t o the wind of change? Don 't you he ar him anymore?
Praying L ord you go tta h elp me. I am never gonna sin again
Just take these chains from round my legs. Sweet Jesus I'll be your frien d.
