⬅ 3 Ton Chain

---

[Verse 1]
Mary held on to the three ton chain
Every little link was in our Lord's name
A little bit further down the road, boys
A little bit further down the road

[Verse 2]
She pulled on the sleeves of her dear old pa
"Ain't we gonna stop before Arkansas?"
A little bit further down the road, boys
A little bit further down the road

[Chorus]
This troubled land is all I see
These troubled visions of the gallows tree
And a little bit further down the road, boys
A little bit further down the road

[Verse 3]
The last place we stopped, they were unkind
My pa's hands trembled and we got back in line
And a little bit further down the road, boys
A little bit further down the road

[Verse 4]
We found a pasture near a lovely well
My pa said it would lead us straight to hell
And a little bit further down the road, boys
A little bit further down the road

[Chorus]
This troubled land is all I see
These troubled visions of the gallows tree
A little bit further down the road, boys
A little bit further down the road
