I dreamed I was free from this place Yes I dreamed I was free from this place Yes I dreamed I was free from this place of misery But I wake with this ball and chain What evil have I done to be here now? What evil have I done to be here now? What evil have I done to carry this burden? And awake with this ball and chain Well I know someday I'll be free Yes I know someday baby I'll be free Yes I know someday with the good lord I will stay And awake with no ball and no chain Yeah, I'll awake with no ball and no chain
