All we had to eat was bread and water Each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter Black sneak whip would cut our backs when some poor fool complained But we couldn't fight back wearin' 35 pounds of Blackjack County chain. And then one night while the sheriff was a sleepin' We all gathered round him slowly creepin' And heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain When we beat him death with thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain. 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 To a black sneak whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain. To a black sneak whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain. --- Instrumental to fade --- Related Lyrics Random lyrics: But You Know I Love You, Cactus Texas, California Sunshine, Cant You See, Carnival Song, Caseys Last Ride, Cedartown, Georgia, Change My Mind, Christina, Cindy of New Orleans, Cindy, Oh Cindy, Cloudy Days, Clyde, Come Back And See Me, Come On Home And Sing The Blues To Daddy, Come Stay With Me, Come With Me, Conversation, Couple More Years, Cowboy Movies, Crazy Arms, Crowd, Crying, Dark Side of Fame, Deep In The West, Delta Dawn, Destinys Child, Didnt We Shine, Didnt We Shine, Dirt, Do It Again, Doesnt Anybody Know My Name, Dont Cuss the Fiddle, Dont Play the Game, Dont Waste Your Time, Dont You Think This Outlaw Bits Done Got Out of, Dont You Think This Outlaw Bit Has Done Got Out O, Donna on My Mind, Dont Cuss The Fiddle, Dont You Think, Dont You Think This Outlaw Bits Done Got Out of Hand, Door Is Always Open, Down Came the World, Dream Baby, Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream), Dreaming My Dreams, Dreaming My Dreams With You, Drinkin and Dreamin, Drinkin and Dreamin, Drinking And Dreaming, Other Waylon Jennings song Lyrics (Dont Let The Sun Set On You In) Tulsa Lyrics Im a Ramblin Man Lyrics 33rd of August Lyrics A Bad Day Lyrics A Couple More Years Lyrics A Good Hearted Woman Lyrics A Legend in My Time Lyrics A Long Time Ago Lyrics A Lot Of Good Lyrics Aint No God in Mexico Lyrics Aint No God In Mexico Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Waylon Jennings And The Waylors Lyrics Wayne Lyrics Wayne And Garth Lyrics Wayne Bernie Lyrics Wayne County Lyrics Wayne Jeff Lyrics Wayne King Lyrics Wayne Marshall Lyrics Wayne Newton Lyrics Wayne Shepard Kenny Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
