Ball And Chain ( In Album Monterey International Pop Festival ) lyrics

We got one more song, uh, it's called Love Is Like a Ball and
Chain

Sittin' down by my window,
Just lookin' on at the rain.
Mm,
sittin' down by my window,
Just lookin' on at the rain.
Somethin' came
along, honey, grabbed a hold of me,
An' it felt like a ball and
chain.
Yeah! Alright!

And I said, oh, whoa, whoa, hon, tell me
why,
Why does every thing go, go wrong ?
I said hon it all go wrong, I

And I said, oh, whoa, whoa, honey, tell me

Yeah! Alright!

Love got a hold on me,
baby,
And it feels like a ball and chain.
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, love
got a hold on me, baby,
Feels like a ball and chain.
Honey, I don't know

Wanna go and leave me here, said wanna leave me here
in so much pain.
Alright, there's one more thing I'm gonna ask you,

Till the day I die.
