Lyrics Ball and Chain - Blues Traveler, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram

Ball and Chain

Sitting at my window
I was looking out at the rain
Sitting by my window
Looking out at the rain
You know something struck me babe
Clamped on to me like a ball and chain
I said baby
Why do you wanna do these mean old things to me?
I said baby
Why do you wanna do these mean old things to me?
Cause you know I love you darling
And I’m sick of living in misery
You know my love for you
Holds me like a ball and chain
You know my love for you baby
Holds me like a ball and chain
You know I don’t mean you no harm
I just don’t I just don’t wanna go insane
I don’t want a ball and chain
Baby yeah
Tell why is everything gotta happen to me
Baby baby baby baby baby
Why’s everything gotta happen to me
You know my love is for eternity
For eternity
You know that something struck me baby
Clamped onto me like a Ball and Chain
