Hobble Chains

<br>I`ll be home soon enough he said<br>And kissed my cheek too lightly<br>Then he sprang into the saddle<br>And set my heart to beating wildly<br>My love was but a lad back then<br>And when his Irish blood was up<br>I daren`t hold him from the world outside<br>A slab and shingled hut<br>CHOURUS1<br> So the sad refrain of hoof beats echoed over the plains<br> And the eerie fading chime of hoble chains<br> Oh I felt a fool to let him go now my heart mourns the days<br> `Til I hear those hobl chains echo home and the chime of hoble chains<br>Now in the dimming hours<br>When I lay down alone<br>I long to see his shadow<br>In the hearths dying glow<br>And I strain to hear him rifing<br>Through the moonlit iron bark<br>My wearly heart is haunted<br>For too long we`ve been apart<br>CHORUS2<br> And the sad refrain of hoof beats echoed over the plains<br> And the eerie fading chime of hoble chains<br> Oh I felt a fool to let him go now my heart mourns the days<br> `Til I hear those hobl chains echo home and the chime of hoble chains<br>Oh I felt a fool to let him go now my heart mourns the days<br>`Til I hear those hobl chains echo home and the chime of hoble chains
