[00:00.609]I lost my lucky ball & chain
[00:02.879]Now she's four years gone
[00:05.091]Just five feet tall and sick of me
[00:07.030]And all my rattling on
[00:09.610]She threw away her baby-doll
[00:11.801]I held on to my pride
[00:13.973]But I was young and foolish then
[00:15.764]I feel old and foolish now
[00:19.324]Confidentially
[00:22.554]she never called me baby-doll
[00:23.816]Confidentially
[00:26.822]I never had much pride
[00:29.268]But now I rock a bar stool
[00:31.227]and I drink for two
[00:35.475]just pondering this time bomb in my mind
[00:38.427]I lost my lucky ball & chain
[00:40.595]Now she's four years gone
[00:42.645]Just five feet tall and sick of me
[00:44.648]And all my rattling on
[00:47.156]She walked away from a happy man
[00:49.151]I thought I was so cool
[00:51.308]I just stood there whistling
[00:55.104]"There goes the bride" as she walked out the door
[00:59.525]"There goes the bride" as she walked out the door
[01:12.593]I could shake my tiny fist
[01:14.704]and swear I wasn't wrong
[01:17.119]But what's the sense in arguing
[01:18.970]when you're all alone?
[01:21.575]Sure as you can't steer a train
[01:23.750]you can't change your fate
[01:25.773]And when she told me of that day
[01:28.367]I knew I'd lost my home
[01:31.181]Confidentially
[01:34.325]I never told you of her charms
[01:35.767]Confidentially
[01:38.921]we never had a home
[01:43.303]But this railroad apartment was the perfect place
[01:47.622]when she'd sit and hold me in her arms
[01:50.663]I lost my lucky ball & chain
[01:52.833]Now she's four years gone
[01:55.155]Just five feet tall and sick of me
[01:57.291]And all my rattling on
[01:59.498]She walked away from a happy man
[02:01.620]I thought I was so cool
[02:03.887]I just stood there whistling
[02:08.051]"There goes the bride" as she walked out the door
[02:12.454]"There goes the bride" as she walked out the door
[02:18.419]"There goes the bride" as she walked out the door
