Ball and Chain - Live at the Monterey Pop Festival - June 1967

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!
 And I say oh, whoa, whoa, no honey
 It ain't fair, daddy it ain't fair what you do,
 I see what you're doin' to me and you know it ain't fair.
 And I say oh, whoa whoa now baby
 It ain't fair, now, now, now, what you do
 I said hon' it ain't fair what, hon' it ain't fair what you do.
 Oh, here you gone today and all I ever wanted to do
 Was to love you
 Honey an' I think there can be nothing wrong with that,
 Only it ain't wrong, no, no, no, no, no.
 Sittin' down by my window,
 Lookin' at the rain.
 Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,
 Lookin' at the rain, see the rain.
 Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,
 And it felt like a ball and chain.
 Oh this can't be in vain
 And I'm gonna tell you one just more time, yeah, yeah!
 And I say oh, whoa whoa, now baby

 And I say no no no no no no no no, whoa!
 And I say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
 Now now now now now now now now now no no not in vain
