letra de blackjack county chains - willie nelson

[verse 1]
i was sitting beside the road in blackjack county
not knowing that the sheriff paid a bounty
for men like me who didn’t have a penny to their names

[refrain]
so he locked my leg to thirty-five pounds of blackjack county chains

[verse 2]
all we had to eat was bread and water
and each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter
and a blacksnake whip would cut our backs when some poor fool complained

[refrain]
but we couldn’t fight back wearing thirty-five pounds of blackjack county chains

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
and then one night while the sheriff was a sleeping
we all gathered ’round him slowly creeping
and heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain

[refrain]
when we beat him to death with the thirty-five pounds of blackjack county chains

[verse 4]
now the whip marks have all healed and i am thankful
that there’s nothing but a scar round my ankle
most of all i’m glad no man will be a slave again

[refrain]
to a blacksnake whip and thirty-five pounds of blackjack county chains, blackjack county chains, blackjack county chains
