Lyrics Ball and Chain

Sitting down by my window honey, looking out at the rain

Lord, Lord, Lord sitting down by my window oh baby, looking out at the rain

Something came along grabbed a hold of me

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, whoa now hun, tell me why

Why does every single little tiny thing I ever hold on to go so wrong? yeah it all goes wrong, yeah

And I say oh, whoa, whoa, whoa now people, tell me

Why does every thing every thing

Hey, here you gone today

I wanted to love you

I just wanted to hold you

I said, for so long

Yeah, alright, hey

Love's got a hold on me, baby feels just like a ball and chain

Now love, love's just dragging me down, baby feels like a ball and chain

I hope there's someone there that could tell me

Why the man I love would want to leave me in so much pain

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

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

Now tell me, tell me, tell me tell me, tell me, yeah yeah yeah oh why, yeah

And I say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa when I ask you

When I need to know why come on tell me why hey hey why, hey hey hey hey

Here you've gone today

I wanted to love you and hold you 'till the day I die

I said whoa, whoa, whoa

And I say oh whoa, whoa, whoa, now honey it ain't fair, no daddy it ain't fair what you do

I see honey what you're doing to me and you know it ain't fair

And I say whoa, whoa whoa whoa now baby, it ain't fair now, now, now, what you do

I said honey it ain't fair no honey it ain't fair what you do

Oh, here you gone today and all I ever wanted to do was to love you

Honey I just know there can be nothing wrong with that honey it ain't wrong no, no, no, no, no

Sitting down by the window looking at the rain

Lord, Lord, Lord sitting down by the window

Looking at the rain see the rain

Something came along grabbed a hold of me

And it felt like a ball and chain oh yes that's it babe

And I'mma tell you this one more time yeah, yeah

And I say oh, whoa whoa whoa now baby, this can't be

I know this can't be in vain and I say no no no no no no no no, whoa

And I say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa

Na na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na no no no no no no no babe
