[Verse 1]
EmI was standin’ by the Aroad in Black Jack EmCounty.
Not knowing that the DSheriff paid a bounBty,
For Emmen like me who Ddidn’t have a Apenny to their Bname.
He locked my legs in A35 pounds
Of EmBlack Jack BCounty Emchain.
[Verse 2]
EmAll we had to Aeat was bread and Emwater,
Everyday we had to Dbuild his road a Bmile and a quarter,
A Emblack snake whip would Dsting our backs
If Asome poor fool comBplained,
But we Emcouldn’t fight back wearing A35 pounds
Of EmBlack Jack BCounty Emchain.

[Verse 3]
EmThen one night while the ASheriff lay a Emsleepin’,
We all gathered Dround him, slowly Bcreepin’,
Heaven Emhelp me to Dforget that night Ain the cold cold Brain,
When we Embeat him to death with A35 pounds
Of EmBlack Jack BCounty Emchain.
[Verse 4]
EmThe wounds have all Ahealed and I am Emthankful,
And there’s nothing left but Dscars around my Bankle.
But Embest of all no Dman will ever Abe a slave aBgain,
To a Emblack snake whip and A35 pounds
Of EmBlack Jack BCounty Emchain.
[Outro]
But Embest of all no Dman will ever Abe a slave aBgain,
To a Emblack snake whip and A35 pounds
Of EmBlack Jack BCounty Emchain.
