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 chains that bind me
I can't shake loose these chains and things
Got to go to work this morning
Seem like everything is lost
I got a cold hearted wrong doin' woman
And a slave drivin' ball
I can't lose these chains that bind me
Can't shake loose these chains and things
Just can't lose these chains and things
Oh, you talk about hard luck and trouble
Seem to be my middle name
All the odds're against me
Yes, I can only play a losin' game
These chains that bind me
Can't lose these chains and things
Just can't lose these chains and things
Oh, I would pack up and leave today, people
But I ain't got nowhere to go
Ain't got no money to buy a ticket
And I don't feel like walkin' anymore
These chains that bind me
Oh, I can't lose
I can't lose these chains and things
