One night as I lay on my pillow,
Moonlight as bright as the dawn
I saw a man come a walking,
He had a long chain on.
I heard his chains a clankin,
They made a mournful sound,
Welded around his body,
Draggin along the ground.
Chorus:
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He stood beside my window,
He looked at me and he said
I am so tired and hungry.
Give me a bite of your bread
He didnt look like a robber,
He didnt look like a thief
His voice was as soft as the moonlight,
A face full of sorrow and grief.
(chorus)
I went into my kitchen,
Fetched him a bowl full of meat
A drink and a pan of cold biscuits,
Thats what I gave him to eat
Though he was tired and hungry
A bright light came over his face
He bowed his head in the moonlight,
He said a beautiful grace.
(chorus)
I got my hammer and chisel,
Offered to set him free
He looked at me and said softly,
I guess we had best let it be.
When he had finished his supper,
He thanked me again and again.
Though its been years since Ive seen him,
Still hear him draggin his chain.
(chorus)
Der musikalische text LONG CHAIN ON von PETER, PAUL & MARY ist auch in dem Album vorhanden In the wind (1963)
Peter, Paul and Mary è un trio folk americano formatosi nel 1960 a New York City. Composto da Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey e Mary Travers, il gruppo ha raggiunto la fama negli anni '60 grazie alla loro musica folk-rock, spesso caratterizzata da testi politici e sociali. Tra i loro successi più noti figurano "If I Had a Hammer", "Blowin' in the Wind" (cover di Bob Dylan) e "Leaving on a Jet Plane". Peter, Paul and Mary hanno partecipato a numerosi eventi per la causa civile americana, come il March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom del 1963. Il loro stile musicale ha influenzato generazioni di artisti folk e rock, contribuendo a diffondere la musica folk negli Stati Uniti e nel mondo. Dopo una pausa negli anni '70, il gruppo si è riunito in diverse occasioni per concerti e registrazioni fino al 2018, quando Mary Travers è scomparsa.
