Testi

I was sitting by the road in Blackjack County
Not knowing that the sheriff had a bounty
For men like me who hadn't got a penny to their name
They locked my legs in thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chains
And all we had to eat was bread and water
Each day we had to build the road a mile and a quarter
A black snake whip would cut the back of any man who complained
But you couldn't fight back wearing thirty-
Five pounds of Blackjack County chains
And then one night when the sheriff, he was sleeping
We all gathered 'round him, slowly creeping
Heaven help me to forget that night in the cold, cold rain
I beat him to death with thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chains
Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful
There's nothing left but a scar around my ankle
Most of all, I'm glad no man will be a slave again
To a black snake whip and thirty-
Five pounds of Blackjack County chains
(Play it when you're ready)
To a black snake whip and thirty-
Five pounds of Blackjack County chains
To a black snake whip and thirty-
Five pounds of Blackjack County chains
To a black snake whip and thirty-
Five pounds of Blackjack County chains
