Ball & Chain |
| Well, it’s been ten years and a thousand tears |
| And look at the mess I’m in |
| A broken nose and a broken heart |
| An empty bottle of gin |
| Well, I sit and I pray |
| In my broken down Chevrolet |
| While I’m singin' to myself |
| There’s got to be another way |
| Take away, take away |
| Take away this ball and chain |
| Well, I’m lonely and I’m tired |
| And I can’t take any more pain |
| Take away, take away |
| Never to return again |
| Take away, take away |
| Take away, this ball and chain |
| Well, I’ve searched and I searched |
| To find a perfect life |
| A brand new car and a brand new suit |
| I even got me a little wife |
| But wherever I have gone |
| I was sure to find myself there |
| You can run all your life |
| But not go anywhere |
| Take away, take away |
| Take away this ball and chain |
| Well, I’m sick and I’m tired |
| And I can’t take any more pain |
| Take away, take away |
| Never to return again |
| Take away, take away |
| Take away, take away this ball and chain |
| Well, I’ll pass the bar on the way |
| To my dingy hotel room |
| I spent all my money |
| I’ve been drinkin' since a half past noon |
| Well, I’ll wake there in the mornin' |
| Or maybe in the county jail |
| Times are hard gettin' harder |
| I’m born to lose and destined to fail |
| Take away, take away |
| Take away this ball and chain |
| well, I’m lonely and I’m tired |
| And I can’t take any more pain |
| Take away, take away |
| Never to return again |
| Take away, take away |
| Take away, take away this ball and chain |
