Ball N' Chain
S-sitting down by my window,
Oh, looking at the rain.
S-sitting down by my window now now,
All around I felt it,
All I could
see was the rain.
Something grabbed a hold of me, honey,
Felt to me honey
like, lord, a ball and chain.
Yeah! hey! you know what I mean,
But it's
way too heavy for you,
You can't hold it tomorrow.
Say, whoa, whoa, honey, it can't be
Just because I got to
want your love
Please please please please, whoa please, please.
Whoa,
honey it can't be
Just because I got to need you daddy.
Please don't you
let me down, no, please, lord!
Here you gone today, but I wanted to love
you,
I wanted to hold you, yeah, till the day I die,
Till the day, till
the day,
Yeah! hey! hey! all right!
Say, whoa, whoa, honey this can't be
Not anything I ever
wanted from you daddy
Tell me now, now, now, now, oh, tell me now, yeah.
I
say, whoa, whoa, honey this can't be
No, no, no, no, no, no, no... yeah yeah,
hey!
And I want someone that could tell me, tell me why
Just because I
got to want your love
Honey, just because I got to need, need, need your love
I said I don't understand, honey, but I wanna chance to try
Try, try, try,
try try try try
Honey when everybody in the world wants the same damn thing
When everybody in the world will need the same lonely thing
When I wanna work
for your love, daddy.
When I wanna try for your love, daddy.
I don't understand how come you're gone, man. I don't
understand why half the
World is still crying, man, when the other half of
the world is still
Crying too, man, I can't get it together. I
If you got
a cat for one day, man I mean, if you, say, say, if you want a
Cat for 365
days, right you aint got him for 365 days, you got him for one
Day, man. well
I tell you that one da
N, better be your life, man. because, you know, you
can say, oh man, you
Can cry about the other 364, man, but you're gonna lose
that one day, man,
And that's all youve got. you gotta call that
, man.
that's what it is, man. if you got it today you don't want it
Tomorrow, man,
cause you don't need it, cause as a matter of fact, as we
Discovered in the
train, tomorrow never happens, m
Ts all the same fucking day, man.
So you gotta, when you wanna hold a sigh,
You gotta hold
him like it's the last minute in your life, baby.
You gotta hold, whoa, whoa,
hold him
Cause someday some weights gonna come on your shoulders, babe,
It's gonna feel too heavy, it's gonna weigh on you,
It's gonna feel just
like a ball, ball, ball, oh daddy,
And a chain.
Hound Dog
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round the
door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You
can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
You told me you was high class
But I could see through that
Yes, you told me you was high class
But I could see through that
And daddy
I know
You ain't no real cool cat
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round the
door
You're just an old hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You can
wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
You made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
You
made me feel so blue
Well you made me weep and moan
'Cause I'm looking for
a woman
All your lookin' for is a home
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round the
door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You
can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
How Come
How come you don't treat me good?
How come you ain't like
you should?
How come you say I'm no good?
How come, baby, how come?
How come you love me, oh baby?
How come you call me, oh
baby?
How come you say you love me maybe?
How come, baby, how come?
Maybe you found a new love
Maybe I'm just your too
But
baby, I've got news for you
Ain't gonna be your fool
How come you keep me guessin'?
How come you don't do no
confessin'?
How come, no love you expressin'?
How come, baby, how come? Oh
yeah
Maybe you found a new love
Maybe I'm just your too
But
baby, I've got news for you
Ain't gonna be your fool
How come you keep me guessin'?
How come you don't do no
confessin'?
How come, no love you expressin'?
How come, baby, how come?
Oh baby, how come?
Since I Fell For You
You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now
you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the
same
Since I fell for you
It's so bad, it's so sad
I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do
I'm still in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues bout every
night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you
I Smell A Rat
I smell a rat baby
I smell a rat baby
You’d better watch
out …
I smell a rat ….
You won’t tell me where you been
Whiskey running
all down your chinI smell a rat baby
I smell a rat baby
You’d better watch
out
I smell a rat baby
You come stumbling down the hall
Bump your head
up against the wall
Knock down drunk, that ain’t all
I know you been
having yourself a ball.
I smell a rat baby
I smell a rat baby
You’d
better watch out
I smell a rat baby
You’d better catch up with some of
those rats baby
Cuz I smell it
Ah I know you ain’t nothing but a old big
ole’ warf rat
Ahh, You’d better watch those rats running under your foot boy,
they’re gonna get ya,
Ah, I smell a rat
Little Red Rooster
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I
am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the farm yard
Upset in every way
The dogs begin to bark, and my hounds begin to how!
The dog
beggin to bark, and my hounds begin to how!
Watch out now people
Little
red rooseter on the prow!
If you're about to see my little red rooster
Please drive
him home
If you're about to see my little red rooster
Please set back home
Ain't had no peace in the farm yard
Since my little red
rooster's been gone
