B.B. King - Chains And Things

(B.B. King & Clark)

Woke up this morning,
After another one of those crazy dreams
Oh, nothing is going right this morning,
The whole world is wrong it seems
Oh, I guess it's the chain that bind me
I can't shake it loose these chains and things

Got to work this morning,
Seems like everything is lost
I got a cold hearted wrong doing woman,
And a slave driving ball
I can't loosen these chains that bind me,
Can't shake them loosen these chains and things
Just can't loosen these chains and things
Well you talk about hard luck and trouble,
Seems to be my middle name
All the odds are against me,
Yes, I can only play a losing game
These chains that bind me,
Can't loosen these chains and things
Just can't loosen these chains and things

Oh, I would pack up and leave today people,
But I ain't got nowhere to go
Ain't got money to buy a ticket,
And I don't feel like walking anymore
These chains that bind me
I can't lose, I can't lose these chains and things
