Long Chain On - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保罗和玛丽)

One night as I lay on my pillow

Moonlight as bright as the dawn

I saw a man come a walking

He had a long chain on

I heard his chains a clankin'

They made a mournful sound

Welded around his body

Draggin' along the ground

He had a long chain on

He had a long chain on

He had a long chain on

He stood beside my window

He looked at me and he said

I am so tired and hungry

Give me a bite of your bread

He didn't look like a robber

He didn't look like a thief

His voice was as soft as the moonlight

A face full of sorrow and grief

He had a long chain on

He had a long chain on

He had a long chain on

I went into my kitchen

Fetched him a bowl full of meat

A drink and a pan of cold biscuits

That's what I gave him to eat

Though he was tired and hungry

A bright light came over his face

He bowed his head in the moonlight

He said a beautiful grace

He had a long chain on

He had a long chain on

He had a long chain on

I got my hammer and chisel

Offered to set him free

He looked at me and said softly

I guess we had best let it be

When he had finished his supper

He thanked me again and again

Though it's been years since I've seen him

Still hear him draggin' his chain

He had a long chain on

He had a long chain on

He had a long chain on
