In Chains

Daddy why do they keep you in chains
Why won't you come home

Their going to send me away
Why do they keep you in chains

Son I killed a man
Cut him down dead
Watched his life float away

Now I got to pay
For what I've done
I hope you will forgive me
I will always love you
But now you must forget me
You've got a new family now

Oh god I miss my boy
God keep him safe
Don't blame him for what I've done
Don't let him turn out like me

Oh god I miss my daddy
Why do they keep him in chains

I'm scared of the dark
I want my daddys hand
God keep him safe

God forgive my sins
Keep my boy safe

God I miss my daddy
Why do they keep him in chains

Daddy come home

God I miss my boy

Son I'm going to miss you
Don't do like I have done

One day you'll have a son
Don't do like I have done

My daddys not coming home

God keep him safe
