I was sittin` 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
So he locked my leg to thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain.
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.
