I can't lose these chains that bind me
All the odds are against me
These chains that bind me
I can't shake it loose, these chains and things
Oh, I guess it's the chains that bind me
Can't shake them loose, these chains and things
Oh, nothing is going right this morning
Just can't lose these chains and things
And a slave driving ball
Can't lose these chains and things
Got to work this morning
Ain't got no money to buy a ticket
Just can't lose these chains and things
The whole world is wrong it seems
Oh, you talk about hard luck and trouble
Seems to be my middle name
Yes, I can only play a losin' game
Seems like everything is lost
These chains that bind me
But I ain't got nowhere to go
And I don't feel like walkin' anymore
I got a cold hearted wrong doin' woman
Oh, I would pack up and leave today people
