Billy Murray "When You're Wearing The Ball And Chain" Victor 17679 1914 Music by Victor Herbert Lyrics by Henry Blossom Bachelors don't learn a bit of sense From their married friends' experience They just stick their heads into the noose Like a silly sentimental goose Each one thinks the other man a fool He's the one exception to the rule He says I'll be happy when I'm wed Later on he makes it "when I'm dead" For when you've got the ball and chain around your ankle, and the stoney hearted jailer is your wife, there's no virtue in repentance. You have got to serve the sentence, which is labor hard for life. You've a number, and you bet your wife has got it. Any hope of a reprieve is all in vain. Matrimony is the crime for which they've got you doing time while your ankle wears the ball and chain. I am up and out at break of day Wifie barely makes the matinee My wife phones for everything we buy Then she wonders why the bills are high My wife drags me out most every night Does this tango stuff while I get tight We can't keep a cook but half a day As a rule we eat at some café But when you wear the ball and chain around your ankle, and the stoney hearted jailer is your wife, there's no virtue in repentance. You have got to serve the sentence, which is labor hard for life. You've a number, and you bet your wife has got it. Any hope of a reprieve is all in vain. Matrimony is the crime for which they've got you doing time while your ankle wears the ball and chain.
