I Was in Chains

I was in chains, chained to my love

Lying sleeping below the silver trees

Then up comes

Davey and says

You must be running boy

Now I must fly, now

I must fly

First to my darling down in the valley

I cried madly, hey,

I’m here at your door

She says,

John, John now be gone from my door

You and your misery

I’ll taste no more

I was in chains and bound for

Australia

Dreaming wildly about my life before

Of my distrust all across the dreadful ocean

And of my true love

I’ll lay no more

And of my true love

I’ll lay no more

Oh, I was in chains and bound for

Australia

Dreaming wildly about my life before

Of my distrust all across the dreadful ocean

And of my true love

I’ll lay no more

And of my true love

I’ll lay no more

Oh the, oh the future

The future before me, oh [Incomprehensible] [Incomprehensible] [Incomprehensible]
