Big Mama Thornton

Sittin' down by my window, just lookin' out at the rain, at the rain
I said I'm sittin' down by my window, just lookin' out at the rain
You know somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me, felt just like a ball and chain
And I say, oh, oh, oh, hon', why does every thing go wrong? It all goes wrong
And I say, oh, now tell me why, does every thing go wrong, all wrong
Say, here you gone today, an' I wanted to love you, for so long
Love's got a hold on me, baby, feels just like a ball and chain, hmm hmm hmm
Oh, love's got a hold on me, baby, feels just like a ball and chain
And I don't know why the man I'm lovin', wanna leave me in so much pain
And I say, oh oh oh, hon', tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, oh tell me why, why, why
And I say, oh, honey why, why, oh why, tell me why, I thought our love would last
