[06:22.00]He Had a Long Chain On (Live) - Odetta
[06:22.00]He Had a Long Chain On
[06:22.00]He Had a Long Chain On
[06:22.00]He Had a Long Chain On
[06:22.00]One night as I lay on my pillow
[06:22.00]Moonlight as bright as the dawn
[06:22.00]I saw a man come walkin'
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]I heard his chains a-clankin'
[06:22.00]They made a mournful sound
[06:22.00]Welded around his body
[06:22.00]Draggin' along on the ground
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He came and stood by my window
[06:22.00]He looked at me and he said
[06:22.00]I am so tired and hungry
[06:22.00]Give me a bite of your bread
[06:22.00]He didn't look like a robber
[06:22.00]He didn't look like a thief
[06:22.00]His voice was as soft as the moonlight
[06:22.00]A face full of sorrow and grief
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]I went into my kitchen
[06:22.00]Fetched him a bowl full of meat
[06:22.00]A drink and a pan of cold biscuits
[06:22.00]That's what I gave him to eat
[06:22.00]Though he was tired and hungry
[06:22.00]A bright light came over his face
[06:22.00]He bowed his head in the moonlight
[06:22.00]He said a beautiful grace
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]I got my hammer and chisel
[06:22.00]Offered to set him free
[06:22.00]He looked at me and said softly
[06:22.00]I guess we had best let it be
[06:22.00]When he'd finished his supper
[06:22.00]He thanked me again and again
[06:22.00]Though it's been years since I've saw him
[06:22.00]Still hear him draggin' that chain
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
[06:22.00]He had a long chain on
