Alright Hey now won't ya listen About a tale of a heartbreak queen The kind of girl that makes Bogie fall On a late night movie screen
She wraps a look around ya Turns a wise man to the fool Lord, save my soul `Cause I feel like I'm fallin' through I said yeah, alright
Gimme that ball and chain now
I hear the sound of sweet and rumble Every time that she walks on by Your song keeps burnin' in my ears Makes me wanna crawl deep inside
Sweet jesus, it gives me trouble Something I don't understand The girl has got a chain around my heart Help me, Jesus, to the promise land Alright, alright
Gimme that ball and chain now Oh, oh, shine Oh, oh, oh, fall Angelica, oh Oh, oh, oh
Before too long I know You'll be back in my arms before too long Lord, save me now
(Solo)
Sweet sound of mercy Such a hard woman to know Her freedom flies like a golden bird It's makin' me lose control All I know is that I love her Sweet jesus, hear my plea All I know is that the heartbreak queen Is taking a piece of me, of me, of me Alright, alright
