About Chains And Things

Dave Clark and B.B. King joined forces to create this blues masterpiece originally from the "Indianola Mississippi Seeds" lp in the late sixties/early seventies. B.B. shows strong vocal prowress while simultaneously giving Lucille an extensive workout. The storyline speaks for itself. This is among King's best work. .

Chains And Things Lyrics

[00:37.65] Woke up this morning
[00:40.70] After another one of those crazy dreams
[00:48.31] Oh, nothing is going right this morning
[00:52.89] The whole world is wrong it seems
[01:00.61] Oh, I guess it's the chain that binds me
[01:05.02] I can't shake it loose, these chains and things
[01:12.90] Got to work this morning
[01:17.23] Seems like everything is lost
[01:20.35] I got a gold-hearted, wrong-doing woman
[01:23.41] And a slave-driving ball
[01:26.22] I can't loosen these chains that bind me
[01:32.42] Can't shake them loose, these chains and things, hmm
[01:41.75] Just can't loosen these chains and things
[01:49.95]
[02:25.52] Well, you talk about hard luck and trouble
[02:29.96] Seems to be my middle name
[02:33.00] All the odds are against me
[02:36.09] Yes, I can only play a losing game
[02:40.46] These chains that bind me
[02:44.98] Can't loosen these chains and things, mmh
[02:54.70] Just can't loosen these chains and things
[03:01.45] Oh, I would pack up and leave today, people
[03:05.75] But I ain't got nowhere to go
[03:08.94] Ain't got money to buy a ticket
[03:11.75] And I don't feel like walking anymore
[03:15.74] These chains that bind me
[03:19.11]
[03:26.78] Oh, I can't lose, I can't lose these chains and things
[03:35.75]
