Black Jack County Chain

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]
