Blackjack County Chains - Christy Moore

Written by:Red Lane

I was sittin' beside the road in black jack county

Not knowing that the sheriff paid a bounty

For men like me that hadn't got a penny to their name

So he locked my leg to 35 pounds of black jack county

And all we had to eat was bread and water

Each day we built the road a mile and a quarter

A black snake whip would cut the back of any man who

Complained

But we couldn't fight back wearing 35 pounds of black

Jack county chains

One night while the sheriff he was sleeping

We all gathered round him slowly creeping

Heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold

Rain

When we beat him to death with 35 pounds of black jack

County chains

Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful

There's nothing left but a scar around my ankle

But most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again

To a black snake whip and 35 pounds of black jack county

Chains

To a black snake whip and 35 pounds of black jack county

Chains

To a black snake whip and 35 pounds of black jack county

Chains

To a black snake whip and 35 pounds of black jack county

Chains
