Lyrics

tting 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, 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.
