Janis Joplin: Ball and Chain ( in album cheap thrills ) Song Lyrics

Ball and Chain ( in album cheap thrills )


Yeah! Alright!

Sittin' down by my window,
Honey, lookin' out at the rain
Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,
Baby, lookin' out at the rain
Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,
And it felt just like a ball and chain
Honey, that's exactly what it felt like,
Honey, just dragging me down

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why,
Why does every single little tiny thing I hold on goes wrong ?
Yeah it all goes wrong, yeah
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now babe, tell me why,
Why does every thing, every thing
Hey, here you gone today, I wanted to love you,
Honey, I just wanted to hold you, I said, for so long,
Yeah! Alright! Hey!

Love's got a hold on me, baby,
Feels just like a ball and chain
Now, love's just draggin' me down, baby, yeah,
Feels like a ball and chain
I hope there's someone out there who could tell me
Why the man I love wanna leave me in so much pain
Yeah, maybe, maybe you could help me, come on, help me!

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why,
Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me why, yeah
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, when I ask you,
When I need to know why, c'mon tell me why, hey hey hey,
Here you've gone today,
I wanted to love you and hold you
Till the day I die
I said whoa, whoa, whoa!!

And I say oh, whoa, whoa, no honey
It ain't fair, daddy it ain't fair what you do,
I see what you're doin' to me and you know it ain't fair
And I say oh, whoa whoa now baby
It ain't fair, now, now, now, what you do
I said hon' it ain't fair what, hon' it ain't fair what you do
Oh, here you gone today and all I ever wanted to do
Was to love you
Honey an' I think there can be nothing wrong with that,
Only it ain't wrong, no, no, no, no, no

Sittin' down by my window,
Lookin' at the rain
Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,
Lookin' at the rain, see the rain
Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,
And it felt like a ball and chain
Oh this can't be in vain
And I'm gonna tell you one just more time, yeah, yeah!

And I say oh, whoa whoa, now baby
This can't be, no this can't be in vain,
And I say no no no no no no no no, whoa!
And I say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Now now now now now now now now now no no not in vain
Hey, hope there is someone that could tell me
Hon', tell me why,
Hon', tell me why love is like
Just like a ball
Just like a ball
Baaaaaaalllll
Oh daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
And a chain
Yeah!

Goodnight and thank you for coming and have a happy happy Easter Sunday
