Black Jack County Chain - Henson Cargill[00:00:00]
Written by:R. Lane[00:00:01]
I was sittin' beside the road in blackjack county[00:00:11]
Not knowin' that the sheriff paid a bounty[00:00:17]
For men like me who didn't have a penny to our names[00:00:22]
Well he locked my leg to thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain[00:00:28]
All we had to eat was bread and water[00:00:36]
Each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter[00:00:40]
A black sneak whip would cut our backs when some poor fool complained[00:00:46]
But you couldn't fight back wearin'[00:00:52]
Thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain[00:00:54]
One night while the sheriff he laid sleepin'[00:01:10]
We all gathered round him slowly creepin'[00:01:15]
Heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain[00:01:21]
When we beat him death with thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain[00:01:27]
All the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful[00:01:34]
All that there's nothing but a scar around my ankle[00:01:39]
But most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again[00:01:45]
To a black sneak whip and thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain[00:01:51]
Blackjack county chain blackjack county chain[00:01:56]
