Ball N' Chain [Part 1]

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 a, 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...
