Big Brother & The Holding Company – Ball and Chain Lyrics	18 years ago
Janis didn't make this song, Big Mama Thornton did. Janis heard it and asked her backstage if she could sing it. The original tempo is a little faster and more upbeat. Janis slowed it down, and brought a heavier sense of impending melancholy with it.
