I got rid of the shackles that bound me
And the guards that were always around me
There were tears on the mail mother wrote me in jail
But I'm free from the chain gang now

There were tears on the mail mother wrote me in jail
All the years I was known by a number
There were tears on the mail mother sent me in jail
There were tears on the mail mother wrote me in jail
All the years I was known and respected

But I'm free from the chain gang now
And the guards that were always around me
But I'm free from the chain gang now
I got rid of the shackles that bound me
'Til one day I was wrongly suspected
I got rid of the shackles that bound me
I was shacked in chains in the cold freezing rain
But I'm free from the chain gang now
How I kept my mind is a wonder
But like a bird in a tree I got my liberty
