Be My Ball and Chain

I need somebody who can cook my supper,
Won't you be my ball and chain,
And to fix up my old fixer upper,
Will you be my ball and chain.
And then I need somebody who can clean my kitchen,
Won't you be my ball and chain,
And to change the clutch on my old transmission,
Won't you be my ball and chain.

Won't you be my ball and chain,
Be my ball and chain,
I'm so tired of being lonely,
Won't you be my ball and chain.

I heard all about your buttermilk pies,
Won't you be my ball and chain,
And you might get some if you treat me nice,
Will you be my ball and chain.
Do you need someone who can wash your stockings,
Won't you be my ball and chain,
And will you answer the door when the landlord's knockin',
Will you be my ball and chain.

I'll go with you to a dancing lesson,
If you'll be my ball and chain,
I'll even eat your mama's cornbread dressin',
If you'll be my ball and chain.
I'll hold your purse while you try on dresses,
If you'll be my ball and chain,
I'll clean up all your little nasty messes.

And if I get restless, will you take me out riding?
And will you say sorry if we ever start fighting?
Now meet me at church and don't you be drinkin'.
Then we'll ride off in a long white lincoln.

If you'll be my ball and chain...

I'm so tired of being lonely, if you'll be my ball and chain,
