(Lebon, Rhodes, Cuccurullo, Taylor) Early Morning As the day is dawning You're street gutter crawling When the sun comes up Baby Crying Says today she's dying But she's always lying And that's a ball'n'chain You got the ball'n'chain You're in the ball'n'chain gang Coz you're the ball'n'chain man Bruises for breakfast Ain't nobody's business But pain's a lonely mistress And you can't give up (That's a ball'n'chain) Flame burning Money that you're earning And you will be returning With a ball'n'chain (chorus) Why do you love me When you don't need me Why do you want me all of the time ? In my whole life, didn't get no peacetime And I don't care if I live or die (that's a ball'n'chain) You got the ball'n'chain You got the ball'n'chain You got the ball'n'chain You got the ball'n'chain You got the ball'n'chain You got the ball'n'chain You got the ball'n'chain You got the Ball'n'Chain You're the one to blame You got to love that pain
