lyrics

~Ropes & Chains~

Ain’t that honey, dripping from your mouth
Ever since that cruel ol’ sun set in the south
And I prayed all night but my God only came
when his believers were Deep in Pain

Locked in Ropes & Chains

the sound is low mama, in our tow
when the water gets high, that’s when we go
Goin down to that Sweet-Muddy-Water
with our Sorrow once again

Round mah neck are Ropes
Round mah feet are Dogs
Round mah neck are Ropes
and around mah Soul are Chains

we were born in the DUST, trapped in shacks
when lightning cracked, so WHITE on BLACk
Like a WHIP mama, lightnin’ lashes through the rain
I see it in mah window pane…

Round mah neck are Ropes
Round mah feet are Dogs
Round mah neck are Ropes
and around mah Soul are Chains

The hammers have spoken, the children have awoken
To crack through them chains
But swingin’ the hammer down are the hands that you found
Walkin’ through the Valley in Ropes & Chains
