Janis Joplin - Ball and chain - live at the woodstock music & art fair, august 16, 1969 lyrics

"Thank you very much for coming Very nice" Yeah! Alright! Sittin' down by my window Honey, lookin' out at the rain Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window Baby, lookin' out at the rain Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me And it felt just like a ball and chain Honey, that's exactly what it felt like Honey, just dragging me down And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why Why does every single little tiny thing I hold on goes wrong? Yeah it all goes wrong, yeah And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, now babe, tell me why Why does every thing, every thing Hey, here you gone today, I wanted to love you Honey, I just wanted to hold you, I said, for so long Yeah! Alright! Hey! Love's got a hold on me, baby Feels just like a ball and chain Now, love's just draggin' me down, baby, yeah Feels like a ball and chain I hope there's someone out there who could tell me Why the man I love wanna leave me in so much pain Yeah, maybe, maybe you could help me, come on, help me! And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me why, yeah And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, when I ask you When I need to know why, c'mon tell me why, hey hey hey Here you've gone today I wanted to love you and hold you Till the day I die I said whoa, whoa, whoa!!
