lyrics

Shackled to a ball and chain
No one heard the song he sang
About a life of pain and hurt
Just a whisper barely heard
He sang about the ones he'd slain
He sang about his evil ways
He's shackled to a ball and chain

Surrounded by these walls of stone
He suffered guilt there all alone
He dreamed of her in his embrace
He heard a cry, he saw her face
He drew his gun, his heart went cold
A shot rang out, now he's grown old
Surrounded by these walls of stone

Listen boys to what I say
From evil deeds there's no escape
They'll haunt you like the ghosts of hell
So listen boys and listen well
Or soon you will regret the day
You turned to those evil ways
You'll be shackled to a ball and chain
