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

Written by：Red Lane[00:00:01]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Complained[00:01:28]

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

Jack county chains[00:01:35]

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

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

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

Rain[00:02:04]

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

County chains[00:02:11]

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

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

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

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

Chains[00:02:47]

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

Chains[00:03:24]

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

Chains[00:03:32]

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

Chains[00:03:41]
