Chains And Things
B.B. King Lyrics
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 binds me
I can't shake it loose, these chains and things
Got to work this morning
Seems like everything is lost
I got a gold-hearted, wrong-doing woman
I can't loosen these chains that bind me
Can't shake them loose, 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

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.

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 chains 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 doin' woman
And a slave driving ball
I can't lose these chains that bind me
Can't shake them loose, these chains and things
Just can't lose these chains and things
Oh, 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 losin' game
These chains that bind me
Can't lose these chains and things
Just can't lose these chains and things
Oh, I would pack up and leave today people
But I ain't got nowhere to go
Ain't got no money to buy a ticket
And I don't feel like walkin' anymore
These chains that bind me
Oh, I can't lose, I can't lose these chains and things

I was never into blues but my late mother did and I first discovered this song through a rap sample by both RZA and Ice Cube and became my favorite BB King song. In order for those two rap artists to sample a legendary blues artist that is telling you a lot that they respect Mr. King's achievements!!! RIP BB King and give my late mother one hell of a concert in Heaven!!! Shalom!!!
Ryan Jones
RZA samples this is Can’t Lose and Cube sampled this in A Bird In The Hand as you already knew. Probably one of the best beats of the early 90s in my opinion
High Ryza
I know the cube song but which rza song ?
Laura Soto-Bayomi

Alpha Lax
This song rly makes you FEEL like the guitar
Hell RaZuR
Laura Soto-Bayomi Played Lucille, RIP BB King
