[Eb] [Ab] [Ebm]
[Gb] I was sitting by the road in Blackjack [Ebm] County Not [Gb] knowing [Db] that the sheriff had [Ebm] paid a bounty
Men like me [Db] didn't [Ab] have a penny to our [Gb] name So he locked my leg for thirty [Db]-five [Ebm] pounds
of blackjack counting [Ab] change [Ebm] [Eb] [Eb] [Ebm] And all we had to [Db] eat was bread [Ebm] and water
And each day we [Db] had to build that [Ebm] road a mile and a quarter
A black snake [Db] whip would cut our back and [Ab] some poor fool complained
But [Eb] we couldn't fight back [Gb] wearing thirty [Db]-five pounds [Ebm] of blackjack counting change
And one night [Db] while the sheriff [Gb] he lay [Ab] [Ebm] asleep We gathered all [Db] around [Ebm] him slowly creeping
And heaven helped [Db] me to forget that night in the cold, cold rain
[Ebm] As we beat him to death with thirty [Db]-five [Gb] pounds of [Eb] blackjack counting change
[Db] [Eb] [Gb]
[Db] [Eb] [Ab] [Ebm]
[Gb] [Eb] [Ebm] And now the whip marks [Db] have all healed and I am thankful
[Ebm] There's nothing but a [Db] scar [Ebm] around my ankle
And most of all [Db] I'm glad no [Ab] man will ever be slaved [Db] again
[Ebm] To that black snake [Db] whip of thirty-five [Ebm] pounds of blackjack counting change
And most of all [Db] I'm glad no man will ever be slaved again
To [Ebm] that black [Db] snake whip of thirty-five pounds [Gb] of [Ebm] blackjack counting change
To that black snake [Db] whip of thirty-five [Ebm] pounds of [Db] blackjack counting [Ebm] change
[Gb] I was sitting by the road in Blackjack [Ebm] County Not [Gb] knowing [Db] that the sheriff had [Ebm] paid a bounty
Men like me [Db] didn't [Ab] have a penny to our [Gb] name So he locked my leg for thirty [Db]-five [Ebm] pounds
