Guthrie, Arlo - Shackles And Chains Lyrics
On a long lonesome Journey I'm going
Oh darling, and please don't you cry
Though in shackles and chains they will take me
In prison to stay till I die
I gaze at the stars
And I long for your kisses in vain
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
Put your arms thru these bars once, my darlin'
Let me kiss those sweet lips that I love best
In heartache you're my consolation
In sorrow my haven of rest
I will gaze at the stars
The plans that we made were in vain
A piece of stone I will use as my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains

The song I always find myself singing obsessively for days or weeks after playing my tape of the album.Now I have my first computer and don't have to worry about my tape wearing out, I'll just resign myself to never being shot of it! There are worse fates.

I love this album. It's one of the few 33's I keep in my collection.
Love Shackles and chains too. Great old song.
I was 18, too, when I bought this LP. I so enjoyed it that I duplicated the black and white drawing in the center (of people pointing at a ship full of people on the ocean waves) and tacked it on my wall until one of the tacks fell on my waterbed and pierced it. Talk about a wet dream. The LP was full of great songs.
