Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
Some birds feathers are too bright to be caged
I know I'm not that colorful, but a bird just the same
Open up your gate now, let me put down my load
So I can feel at ease and go back to my home
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
Sun beating down, my legs can't seem to stand
There's a boss man at a turnrow with a rifle in his hand
I've got nine children, nothin' in the pan
My wife, she died hungry, while I was plowin' land
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
Can't see when I go to work, can't see when I get off
How do you expect a man not to get lost?
Every year I just keep getting deeper in debt
If there's a happy day, Lord, I haven't seen one yet
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
Land that I love is the land that I'm workin'
But it's hard to love it all the time when your back is a-hurtin'
Getting too old now to push this here plow
Please, let me lay down, so I can look at the clouds
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
Land that I know is where two rivers collide
The Brazos, the Navaso and the big blue sky
Flood-plains, freight trains, watermelon vines of any place on God's green Earth
This is where I choose to die
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
Some birds feathers are too bright to be caged
I know I'm not that colorful, but a bird just the same
Open up your gate now, let me put down my load
So I can feel at ease and go back to my home
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
Sun beating down, my legs can't seem to stand
There's a boss man at a turnrow with a rifle in his hand
I've got nine children, nothin' in the pan
My wife, she died hungry, while I was plowin' land
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
Can't see when I go to work, can't see when I get off
How do you expect a man not to get lost?
Every year I just keep getting deeper in debt
If there's a happy day, Lord, I haven't seen one yet
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
Land that I love is the land that I'm workin'
But it's hard to love it all the time when your back is a-hurtin'
Getting too old now to push this here plow
Please, let me lay down, so I can look at the clouds
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
Land that I know is where two rivers collide
The Brazos, the Navaso and the big blue sky
Flood-plains, freight trains, watermelon vines of any place on God's green Earth
This is where I choose to die
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free
Lord, take away these chains from me
