chains tied around my ankle
I ain't got no rope tied
around my waist
'Cause if I wanted to go
Well, I could be about leavin'
But her love,
sweet love stands in my way
I could have the
Queen of Sheba
And she couldn't keep me,
couldn't keep me satis fied
Well, I could pick and choose
from a dozen ladies
But her love,
sweet love stands in my way
Well, I wouldn't let my shirttail touch
my back
If I thought there was somethin' better
on down the track
Oh, but she don't have to
worry if I stray
She knows her love,
sweet love stands in my way
Whoo!
Oh, why in the world would I ever
wanna mess around
When I know my woman's got the
sweetest love in town?
Now she don't have to
worry if I stray
She knows her love,
sweet love stands in my way
Ain't got no chain s tied
around my ankle
Ain't got no rope
tied around my waist
Oh, if I wanted to go
I could be about leavin'
But her love, sweet love stands in my way
Oh, I could have
the Queen of Sheba
She couldn't keep me,
couldn't keep me satis fied
Oh, I could pick and choose from
a half a dozen ladies
Yes, I could, but her love,
sweet love stands in my way
Ain't got no chains tied
around my ankle
Ain't got no rope tied
around my waist
And if I ever wanted to go
You know I could be about leavin'
Oh Lord, but her love,
sweet love stands in my way
Oh, I could have,
I could have the Queen of Sheba
But you know somethin'? She
would never keep me satisfied
You know I could pick and
choose from a dozen ladies
But her love,
sweet love stands in my way
Ain't got no chains tied
around my ankle
Ain't got no rope tied
all around my waist
You know if I wanted to go
Oh Lord, I would be right leavin'
