Killing Margery Keller - Devil's Daughter

Ball and Chain, Ball and Chain
Jesus rid me of this Ball and Chain
Ball and Chain, Ball and Chain
Jesus rid me of this Ball and Chain
Ol' Lazarus said, "Go and give em hell"
Listen for the sound of the old church bell
"You're diggin' deep down, deliver those bones
Of every foolish soul that had done me wrong"
She said, "I can't stand to see you go
One of these days you ain't gonna come home"
So here I am, Driving all day
Slave to the wheel, Iron of blood stains
No matter what I do there ain't no escape
Cuz the devil's daughter is my ball and chain
God damn! I can't make sense of it all
Shot me down before I could make my draw
Sippin whiskey just to drown out the pain
Cuz the devil's daughter is my ball and chain
God damn! I can't make sense of it all
Shot me down before I could make my draw
Sippin' whiskey just to drown out the pain
Cuz the devil's daughter is my ball and chain
Ball and Chain, Ball and Chain
Jesus rid me of this Ball and Chain
Ball and Chain, Ball and Chain
Jesus rid me of this Ball and Chain
Lost in the desert, trying to find the way
Headed down south, to open up that grave
We swingin' low, we singing deadman songs
Taking care of business, buried one by one
I can't stand for this shit no more
One of these days it's gon' be me in that hole
No matter what i do, there ain't no escape
Cuz the devil's daughter is my ball and chain
God damn! I can't make sense of it all
Shot me down before I could make my draw
Sippin whiskey just to drown out the pain
Cuz the devil's daughter is my ball and chain
God damn! I can't make sense of it all
Shot me down before I could make my draw
Sippin' whiskey just to drown out the pain
Cuz the devil's daughter is my ball and chain
We singin' deadman songs, got a foot in the grave
Shovel hittin' dirt but I ain't dyin' today
Preacher came around told me gotta get saved
Looked'm in the eye 'said we all burnin' the same
Sunday service calls with the ring of the bells
It don't even matter, We're all going to hell
God damn! I can't make sense of it all
Shot me down before I could make my draw
Sippin whiskey just to drown out the pain
Cuz the devil's daughter is my ball and chain
God damn! I can't make sense of it all
Shot me down before I could make my draw
Sippin' whiskey just to drown out the pain
Cuz the devil's daughter is my ball and chain
The Devil's Daughter
The Devil's Daughter is my Ball and Chain
The Devil's Daughter
The Devil's Daughter is my Ball and Chain
The Devil's Daughter
The Devil's Daughter
The Devil's Daughter
The Devil's Daughter is my Ball and Chain
