Spoken Introduction: He Had A Long Chain On - Odetta

He Had a Long Chain On

 

He Had a Long Chain On

 

He Had a Long Chain On

 

One night as I lay on my pillow

 

Moonlight as bright as the dawn

 

I saw a man come walkin'

 

He had a long chain on

 

I heard his chains a-clankin'

 

They made a mournful sound

 

Welded around his body

 

Draggin' along on the ground

 

He had a long chain on

 

He had a long chain on

 

He had a long chain on

 

He came and stood by my window

 

He looked at me and he said

 

I am so tired and hungry

 

Give me a bite of your bread

 

He didn't look like a robber

 

He didn't look like a thief

 

His voice was as soft as the moonlight

 

A face full of sorrow and grief

 

He had a long chain on

 

He had a long chain on

 

He had a long chain on

 

I went into my kitchen

 

Fetched him a bowl full of meat

 

A drink and a pan of cold biscuits

 

That's what I gave him to eat

 

Though he was tired and hungry

 

A bright light came over his face

 

He bowed his head in the moonlight

 

He said a beautiful grace

 

He had a long chain on

 

He had a long chain on

 

He had a long chain on

 

I got my hammer and chisel

 

Offered to set him free

 

He looked at me and said softly

 

I guess we had best let it be

 

When he'd finished his supper

 

He thanked me again and again

 

Though it's been years since I've saw him

 

Still hear him draggin' that chain

 

He had a long chain on

 

He had a long chain on

 

He had a long chain on

 

He had a long chain on

 

He had a long chain on

 

 

He had a long chain on
