Lyrics Ball and Chain - Blues Traveler , Christone "Kingfish" Ingram

Sittin′ at my window
I was looking out at the rain
Sittin' by my window
Looking out at the rain
You know something struck me babe
Clamped onto me like a ball and chain

I said baby
Why you want to do these mean old things to me?
I said baby
Why you want to do these mean old things to me?
′Cause you know I love you darling
And I'm sick of living in misery

You know my love for you
Holds me like a ball and chain
You know my love for you baby
Holds me like a ball and chain
You know I don't mean you no harm
I just don′t, I just don′t want to go insane
I don't want to go insane

Baby, yeah
Tell me why′s everything gotta happen to me?
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Why's everything gotta happen to me?
You know my love gotta love for a rebel
For eternity, for eternity, oh, oh, oh

You know that something struck me babe
Clamped onto me like a ball and chain
