Lucky Ball & Chain
I lost my lucky ball & chain Now she's four years gone Just five feet tall and sick of me And all my rattling on She threw away her baby-doll I held on to my pride But I was young and foolish then I feel old and foolish now Confidentially -- she never called me baby-doll Confidentially -- I never had much pride But now I rock a bar stool and I drink for two just pondering this time bomb in my mind I lost my lucky ball & chain Now she's four years gone Just five feet tall and sick of me And all my rattling on She walked away from a happy man I thought I was so cool I just stood there whistling "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door I could shake my tiny fist and swear I wasn't wrong But what's the sense in arguing when you're all alone? Sure as you can't steer a train you can't change your fate And when she told me off that day I knew I'd lost my home Confidentially -- I never told you of her charms Confidentially -- we never had a home But this railroad apartment was the perfect place when she'd sit and hold me in her arms I lost my lucky ball & chain Now she's four years gone Just five feet tall and sick of me And all my rattling on She walked away from a happy man I thought I was so cool I just stood there whistling "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door These lyrics are copyrighted material, and its use has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
