Chains of love have tied my heart to you, chains of love have tied my heart to you
And the moon is shining bright, where can you be tonight
if you re gonna leave me
i m just sittin here wonderin
please won t you set me free
and the moon is shining bright
It s three o clock in the morning, it s three o clock in the morning
if you re gonna leave me
i can t stay here with these chains
if you re gonna leave me
Chains of love have made me feel so blue, until the day i die
are you gonna make me cry
until the day i die
are you gonna love me
these chains of blues gonna haunt me
Tell me what are you gonna do, chains of love have made me feel so blue
Until the day i die, now i m just a prisoner Love, where can you be tonight
Chains of love have tied my heart to you, now i m just a prisoner
It s three o clock in the morning, i can t stay here with these chains, if you re gonna leave me
If you re gonna leave me, these chains of blues gonna haunt me Of, if you re gonna leave me
Are you gonna leave me, where can you be tonight
Until the day i die, until the day i die
Where can you be tonight, please won t you set me free Turner, are you gonna make me cry
Tell me what are you gonna do, and the moon is shining bright
Well, you're right - the odd rhythm in the flames version grows on you. I took your advice and listened before bed, and just woke up wanting to hear it again. But then I listened to Big Joe one more time, and I gotta say that's where my preference lies.
I usually go for the original but I like the Hollywood Flames version a little better. I love Big Joe but in comparison, his version drags a little. I would like his version better if I was in a smoky bar at 1am but not just for general listening.
heard a few versions of this song,Fats Domino,first time this version,personal favourite?Singer [for Me] Brook Benton,from a l/p in the early sixties.Well worth a listen!
This is a great blues song from the late and great big boss man of the blues Joe Turner from 1950 after all we black folks invented blues music in this country i still play on my internet radio show Classic Soul me the Masterblaster
