Blackjack County Chains (Album Version) - Willie Nelson/Waylon Jennings[00:00:00]
Written by:Red Lane[00:00:01]
I was sittin' beside the road in Blackjack County[00:00:27]
Not knowing that the sheriff paid a bounty[00:00:35]
For men like me who didn't have a penny to their names[00:00:42]
So he locked my leg to thirty five pounds of Blackjack County chain[00:00:52]
All we had to eat was bread and water[00:01:03]
Each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter[00:01:08]
Black snake whip would cut our backs when some poor fool complained[00:01:14]
But we couldn't fight back wearin' thirty five pounds of Blackjack County chain[00:01:21]
And then one night while the sheriff was a sleeping[00:01:28]
We all gathered round him slowly creepin'[00:01:34]
Heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain[00:01:39]
When we beat him death with thirty five pounds of Blackjack County chain[00:01:46]
Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful[00:01:53]
That there's nothing but a scar round my ankle[00:01:59]
But most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again[00:02:04]
To a black snake whip and thirty five pounds of Blackjack County chain[00:02:11]
To a black snake whip and thirty five pounds of Blackjack County chain[00:02:18]
