Ball ’n’ Chain Songtext
von Big Mama Thornton

Sitting by my window
And I was looking out at the rain
Sitting by my window Babe
And I was sitting down, looking out at the rain
You know something struck me
Clamped on to me just like, just like a ball and chain


I said Oh, Oh Baby
Why do you wanna do all these mean things to me?
I said Oh, Oh Baby, why do you wanna do
Why do you wanna do all these things to me?
Because you know I love you
And I′m so sick and tired, so sick and tired of being in misery
Hey Hey, ball and chain

I know you're gonna miss me Baby
Oh yes you′re going to miss all those sweet things
Oh yes, I know you're gonna miss me Baby
Oh I know you're going to miss all those sweet things
And then you′ll find that your whole life will be like mine
Oh Lord, wrapped up like a ball and chain

I said Oh, Oh Baby, why do you wanna do all these mean things to me?
I said Oh, Oh Baby, why do you wanna do all these mean things to me?
I know my love for you will last forever
It′s gonna last, I said it's gonna last Oh Good God Almighty
For eternity
Oh yeah


All in vain
