Ball and Chain
Early morning
As the day is dawning
You're street gutter crawling
When the sun comes up
Baby crying
Says today, she's dying
But she's always lying
And that's a ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You're in the ball and chain gang
'Cause you're the ball and chain man
Bruises for breakfast
Ain't nobody's business
But pain's a lonely mistress
And you can't give up (and that's a ball and chain)
Flame burning
Money that you're earning
And you will be returning
With a ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You're in the ball and chain gang
'Cause you're the ball and chain man
Why do you love me
When you don't need me?
Why do you want me all of the time?
In my whole life, I didn't get no peacetime
And I don't care if I live, or I die
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the love that pain
You got the ball and chain
And you're the one to blame
You got the ball and chain
You're the one to blame
You got the love that pain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
As the day is dawning
You're street gutter crawling
When the sun comes up
Baby crying
Says today, she's dying
But she's always lying
And that's a ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You're in the ball and chain gang
'Cause you're the ball and chain man
Bruises for breakfast
Ain't nobody's business
But pain's a lonely mistress
And you can't give up (and that's a ball and chain)
Flame burning
Money that you're earning
And you will be returning
With a ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You're in the ball and chain gang
'Cause you're the ball and chain man
Why do you love me
When you don't need me?
Why do you want me all of the time?
In my whole life, I didn't get no peacetime
And I don't care if I live, or I die
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
You got the love that pain
You got the ball and chain
And you're the one to blame
You got the ball and chain
You're the one to blame
You got the love that pain
You got the ball and chain
You got the ball and chain
