I was sittin' beside the road in blackjack county

Not knowin' that the sheriff paid a bounty

For men like me who didn't

have a penny to our names

Well he locked my leg to

thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain

All we had to eat was bread and water

Each day we had to build

that road a mile and a quarter

A black sneak whip would cut our backs

when some poor fool complained

But you couldn't fight back wearin'

Thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain

One night while the sheriff he laid sleepin'

We all gathered round him slowly creepin'

Heaven help me to forget

that night in the cold cold rain

When we beat him death with

thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain

All the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful

All that there's nothing but a scar around my ankle

But most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again

To a black sneak whip and

thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain

Blackjack county chain blackjack county chain
