Текст песни I'm Free From The Chain Gang Now

I got rid of the shackles that bound me and the guards that were always around me There were tears on the mail mother sent me in jail But I'm free from the chain gang now Back home I was known and respected then one day I was wrongly suspected So they put me in chains in a cold freezin' rain but I'm free from the chain gang now All the years I was known by a number how I kept my mind is a wonder And the bare prison cell that was one step from hell But I'm free from the chain gang now I prayed that the gossip will spare me when I return to the one I will marry Like a bird in a tree I got my liberty and I'm free from the chain gang now
