Big Mama Thornton - Ball And Chain lyrics

Sittin' by my window And I was looking out at the rain Sittin' 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...
