[Verse 1]
Dm C Dm
I was standin' beside the road in Blackjack County
Dm C A
Not knowing the sheriff paid a bounty
Dm C A# A
For men like me who didn't have a penny to their names
Dm C A A/C Dm
So he locked my leg to thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain
[Verse 2]
Dm C Dm
And all we had to eat was bread and water
Dm C A
And each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter
Dm C A# A
D black snake whip would crack our backs if some poor fool complained
Dm C A A/C Dm
And you couldn't fight back wearin' thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain
[Verse 3]
Dm C Dm
And then one night when the sheriff was a-sleepin'
Dm C A
We gathered all around him slowly creepin'
Dm C A# A
Heaven help me to forget that night in the cold, cold rain
Dm C A A/C Dm
When we beat him to death with thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain
[Interlude]
Dm A A/C Dm
Dm A A/C Dm
[Verse 4]
Dm C Dm
Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful
Dm C A
That there's nothing but these scars around my ankles
Dm C A# A
But most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again
Dm C A A/C Dm
To a black snake whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain
Dm C A A/C Dm
To a black snake whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain
A A/C Dm
