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 chain that bind me 
I can't shake it loose these chains and things 
Got to work this morning, 
seems like everything is lost 
I got a cold hearted wrong doing woman, 
and a slave driving ball 
I can't loosen these chains that bind me, 
can't shake them loosen these chains and things 
Just can't loosen these chains and things 
Well you talk about hard luck and trouble, 
seems to be my middle name 
All the odds are against me, 
yes, I can only play a losing game 
These chains that bind me, 
can't loosen these chains and things 
Just can't loosen these chains and things 
Oh, I would pack up and leave today people, 
but I ain't got nowhere to go 
Ain't got money to buy a ticket, 
and I don't feel like walking anymore 
These chains that bind me 
I can't lose, I can't lose these chains and things
