Take away this ball and chain, i m lonely and i m tired Chain, well i ve searched and i ve searched
Or maybe in the county jail, i even got me a little wife, well i ve searched and i ve searched
While i m singin to myself, and look at the mes i m in, i m lonely and i m tired
Well it s been ten years and a thousand tears, and look at the mes i m in
To my dingy hotel room, i m lonely and i m tired Tonk), or maybe in the county jail
and i can t take any more pain
an empty bottle of gin
Or maybe in the county jail, i m lonely and i m tired
I m lonely and i m tired, times are hard getting harder NESS, there s got to be another way
A broken nose and a broken heart, well it s been ten years and a thousand tears
times are hard getting harder
but not go anywhere
I was sure to find myself there, well i sit and i pray, well i ll pass the bar on the way
Well i sit and i pray, or maybe in the county jail
i ll wake there in the mornin
To find the perfect life, i even got me a little wife
And look at the mes i m in, there s got to be another way
take away this ball and chain
to my dingy hotel room
and i can t take any more pain
never to return again
But wherever i have gone, well i sit and i pray, i even got me a little wife
take away this ball and chain
Times are hard getting harder, never to return again
take away this ball and chain
To find the perfect life, i even got me a little wife
i spent all my money
an empty bottle of gin
