BLACKJACK COUNTY CHAIN

WILLIE NELSON

Capo III

Tonalité :

I was sittin' beside the ro ad in Black Jack Cou nty.

n ot knowing that that the Sh eriff paid a boun ty

F or men like me that d idn't have a penny to their na me.

S o he locked my leg to 3 5 pounds of Blac k Jack Co unty Chains .

A nd all we had to eat was bread and wat er

A nd each day we built the r oad a mile and a quar ter

A Black Snake Whip would cut o ur back when some p oor Fool complained

B ut we couldn't fight ba ck wearing 35 pounds of Bl ack Jack County Chai ns.

O ne night while the Sh eriff was a sleep ing

w e all gathered ro und him slowly creepi ng

a nd Heaven help me to fo rget that night in the cold cold rain

w hen we beat him to death with 35 pounds of Black Jack Cou nty Chains.

N ow the whip marks are all healed and I 'm thankful

T here's nothing bu t the scar around my ankle.

B ut most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again

T o a Black Snake Whip a nd 35 pounds of Black Jac k County Ch ain.
