lyrics

The first night you called Ol’ Scratch
She only had to knock three times
And though the floorboards shook and wailed with the weight
You made the trade right away

You knew Ol’ Scratch don’t play no games with a soul now
Tied you to the bed straight away
And though your daddy tried to warn you bout the fire now
Whoa, you just couldn’t wait

And though you might try to run
No man will ever get away
From that ol’ Ball and Chain

Ol’ Scratch don’t need to see a thing put in writing
She knows that good ol' fashioned way
She’ll work a poison deep inside of your mind now
Have you seeing only one bright red face every place
But Ol’ Scratch don’t clean the floor babe
Oh no, Ol’ Scratch don’t pay the bills

And though you might try to run
No man will ever get away
From that ol’ Ball and Chain

Ol’ Scratch
Say Goodnight to Ol’ Scratch
Say Good Morning Ol’ Scratch
40 Years with Ol’ Scratch
On my death bed with Ol’ Scratch
I’ll see you up in Heaven Ol’ Scratch
Straight down to Hell with Ol’ Scratch

Don’t Play Around with Ol’ Scratch
