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
