Lyrics:

This 1963 version of “Take These Chains from My Heart” is a cover of Hank Williams' 1963 original #1 country song of the same name.
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new, let me find a new love, too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free


Give my heart just a word of sympathy (Sympathy)
Be as fair to my heart as you can be (You can be)
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these chains from my heart and set me free (Set me free)
