Ball And Chain

Sittin’ down by my window,

Honey, lookin’ out at the rain.

Oh, Lord, Lord, sittin’ down by my window,

Baby, lookin’ out at the rain.

Somethin’ came along, grabbed a hold of me, honey,

And it felt just like a ball and chain.

Honey, that’s exactly what it felt like,

Honey, just dragging me down.

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon’, tell me why,

Why does every single little tiny thing I hold on to go wrong ?

Yeah it goes wrong, yeah.

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now babe, tell me why,

Does every thing, every thing.

Yeah! Alright! Hey!

Love’s got a hold on me, baby,

Feels like a ball and chain.

Feels like a ball and chain.

Why the man I love wanna leave me in so much pain.

Yeah, maybe, maybe you could help me, come on, help me!

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon’, tell me why,
