Six Feet Of Chain Lyrics & Chords By Lee Hazlewood

He can love any woman he sees he can stay as late as he please
He can take a nice walk in the rain if he can do it on six feet of chain
Six feet of chain six feet of chain he's a prisoner on six feet of chain
He can climb up a mountain so high he can run he can jump he can fly
He can have plenty fortune and fame if he can do it on six feet of chain
Six feet of chain six feet of chain he's a prisoner on six feet of chain
He can go if he wants to go he can stay if he wants to stay
He can go crazy or stay saint if he can do it on six feet of chain
Six feet of chain six feet of chain he's a prisoner on six feet of chain

(There's people livin' in Trouble that'll tell you that Trouble wasn't nothin'
No sir nothin' nothin' but a little town that is until we got our railroad
And of course there's people livin' in Trouble today
That'll tell you since we got our railroad
We're still nothin' with a railroad runnin' thru it
In fact about the easiest way to start an argument
Is to say something either for or against the railroad
I don't have nothin' against the railroad or the men that work for it
As far as I've been able to find out they're hard working
Hard drinking hard dying men they're pretty hard fightin' too
I guess about the only thing they can't whip is each other)
