[spoken]
this is a song that was written by one of the most beautiful people i have ever met about the man with the long chain on

he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on

one night as i lay on my pillow
moonlight as bright as the dawn
i saw a man come walkin’
he had a long chain on
i heard his chains a-clankin’
they made a mournful sound
welded around his body
draggin’ along on the ground
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on

he stood beside my window
he looked at me and he said
i am so tired and hungry
give me a bite of your bread
he didn’t look like a robbеr
he didn’t look like a thief
his voicе was as soft as the moonlight
a face full of sorrow and grief

he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on

i went into my kitchen
fetched him a bowl full of meat
a drink and a pan of cold biscuits
that’s what i gave him to eat
though he was tired and hungry
a bright light came over his face
he bowed his head in the moonlight
he said a beautiful grace
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on

i got my hammer and chisel
offered to set him free
he shook his head and said softly
i guess we had best let it be
when he had finished his supper
he thanked me again and again
though it’s been years since i saw him
still hear him draggin’ his chain

he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on

he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
he had a long chain on
