Ball and Chain - Tommy James

I went down to the valley, just to find out who I am, Lord

Down home in the valley, I’ve got to get myself back together again, now

I looked all around me, but everything was still the same

People, you can’t climb that mountain carrying a ball and chain, no

Because it takes all the love that your give to get to the other side

It makes all the life that you can live so satisfied, yeah, so satisfied

Come, come, comin' together, that’s the only way we can go

Children, you better turn around, take a look where you been before, now

Come, come come on people, don’t you know that we’re all the same;

You know we ain’t gonna climb that mountain carrying a ball and chain

Because it takes all the love that your give to get to the other side

It makes all the life that you can live so satisfied, yeah, so satisfied
