about

Trad. Arrangement by Tar and Rosin

lyrics

My wife died on Friday night and on Saturday she was buried,
Sunday was my courtin' day and on Monday I got married,

Chorus:
I won't get drunk no more, won't get drunk no more
Won't get drunk no more, down the old plank road

Fifteen pounds of meat a week and whiskey here to sell
How's a boy to stay at home when the pretty gals look so well

Branson, Oh Branson, why'd you treat me so
If you want for me to leave, then I will gladly go

I'd rather be in Memphis in the cold and rain
Then being out here in Chicago wearing that ball and chain

I went up to a train yard to hop a gravel train
The very next thing you heard of me I wore that ball and chain

I went up to that courthouse so I could pay my fine
The very next thing you heard of me I was on that chain gang line
