Spoken Introduction: He Had A Long Chain On - Odetta (欧蒂塔)[00:00:00]
He Had a Long Chain On[00:00:13]
He Had a Long Chain On[00:00:19]
He Had a Long Chain On[00:00:24]
One night as I lay on my pillow[00:00:48]
Moonlight as bright as the dawn[00:00:54]
I saw a man come walkin'[00:00:59]
He had a long chain on[00:01:04]
I heard his chains a-clankin'[00:01:10]
They made a mournful sound[00:01:15]
Welded around his body[00:01:20]
Draggin' along on the ground[00:01:26]
He had a long chain on[00:01:31]
He had a long chain on[00:01:36]
He had a long chain on[00:01:42]
He came and stood by my window[00:02:06]
He looked at me and he said[00:02:11]
I am so tired and hungry[00:02:16]
Give me a bite of your bread[00:02:21]
He didn't look like a robber[00:02:26]
He didn't look like a thief[00:02:32]
His voice was as soft as the moonlight[00:02:37]
A face full of sorrow and grief[00:02:42]
He had a long chain on[00:02:47]
He had a long chain on[00:02:53]
He had a long chain on[00:02:58]
I went into my kitchen[00:03:21]
Fetched him a bowl full of meat[00:03:27]
A drink and a pan of cold biscuits[00:03:32]
That's what I gave him to eat[00:03:37]
Though he was tired and hungry[00:03:42]
A bright light came over his face[00:03:47]
He bowed his head in the moonlight[00:03:53]
He said a beautiful grace[00:03:58]
He had a long chain on[00:04:03]
He had a long chain on[00:04:08]
He had a long chain on[00:04:14]
I got my hammer and chisel[00:04:37]
Offered to set him free[00:04:42]
He looked at me and said softly[00:04:47]
I guess we had best let it be[00:04:52]
When he'd finished his supper[00:04:57]
He thanked me again and again[00:05:02]
Though it's been years since I've saw him[00:05:08]
Still hear him draggin' that chain[00:05:13]
He had a long chain on[00:05:18]
He had a long chain on[00:05:23]
He had a long chain on[00:05:28]
He had a long chain on[00:05:52]
He had a long chain on[00:05:57]
He had a long chain on[00:06:02]
