3 Ton Chain

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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 A little bit further down the road, boys
 A little bit further down the road
