Ball N' Chain

Big Mama Thornton

S-sitting down by my window, Oh, looking at the rain. S-sitting down by my window now now, All around I felt it, All I could see was the rain. Something grabbed a hold of me, honey, Felt to me honey like, lord, a ball and chain. Yeah! hey! you know what I mean, But its way too heavy for you, You cant hold it tomorrow. Say, whoa, whoa, honey, it cant be Just because I got to want your love Please please please please, whoa please, please. Whoa, honey it cant be Just because I got to need you daddy. Please don't you let me down, no, please, lord! Here you gone today, but I wanted to love you, I wanted to hold you, yeah, till the day I die, Till the day, till the day, Yeah! hey! hey! all right! Say, whoa, whoa, honey this cant be Not anything I ever wanted from you daddy Tell me now, now, now, now, oh, tell me now, yeah. I say, whoa, whoa, honey this cant be No, no, no, no, no, no, no, yeah yeah, hey! And I want someone that could tell me, tell me why Just because I got to want your love Honey, just because I got to need, need, need your love I said I don't understand, honey, but I wanna chance to try Try, try, try, try try try try Honey when everybody in the world wants the same damn thing When everybody in the world will need the same lonely thing When I wanna work for your love, daddy. When I wanna try for your love, daddy. I don't understand how come you're gone, man. I don't understand why half the World is still crying, man, when the other half of the world is still Crying too, man, I cant get it together.
