Lyrics: I haven't seen any rain, Draggin 'round a ball and chain.
I haven't seen any rain,
Draggin' round a ball and chain.
Angel says it's quarter past eleven
I'll catch the next elevator to heaven.
Time can be a second, can be a minute,
An hour or even a day.
Time, time, time, time, can be a second, can be a minute,
An hour or even a day.
Angel says it's quarter past seven
I'll catch the next elevator to heaven.
I haven't seen any rain,
I am draggin 'round a ball and chain.
Yes I am.
I haven't seen any rain,
Draggin' round a ball and chain. Yes I am.
Angel says it's half past seven
Time to catch the next elevator to heaven.
Heaven...
Thanks to fivetimesyo for the lyrics

This tune is monstrous!!!
Maravilhoso!!!... 👏👏❤
I’m 82 years old and if I live one more day, I hope I never lose my love for the blues. Hard to explain, but maybe I don’t need to.
20 years behind you, feel the same
I am not even half your age and I hope to have love for Blues till the day I die
Once you heard the blues, and if you have it in your heart, the feeling never goes away. It’s like the love you felt for that special woman that just couldn’t be, but a lot sweeter…
...now, that there, was "WELL" said. Couldn't have said it any better. I've loved the blues since I was about 6, n I'm now 65. At this age... AIN'T NO WAY I will lose my love for the blues. The blues is in my DNA. Enjoy the rest of your day, be blessed and stay safe.
@@TheElectrocositos ... all ight now! The blues got in my DNA when I was about 6 years old, I'm now 65, n I've loved it "EVERY" SINCE. Enjoy the rest of your day, be blessed and stay safe.
It is March 2024. I'm just 40... Crazy things are happening in the World... This tune is made my evening. Hope all this madness will finish soon. Peace, Love and Unity To Everyone! Cheers!
Cheers my friend!

Preach.....
Sometimes ,I stop my car in the middle of nowhere, in a complete darkness to listen to this. It goes straight down my spine and empties my soul.
Lol... You definitely don't follow the sheep... neither do I ; )
👏👏
Amen !
The Soul c est l Ãme en français . Et le blues c'est Blues en français. En voilà l incarnation musicale ...

I'm a 22yrs old dude and I just recently switched on to blues from electro House music. I think this is the real music which keeps calm and gives a real sense of music !!
This is the real stuff..enjoy man!
Congratulations, Don's Tunes took you to school.😉 Keep listening you'll learn more about life..the good,bad,and ugly. Blessings to ta😘
I agree im 24 i listen a lot of dubstep and trap/rap n i juste found that type its so real compared to music of my generation
Good choice
Same here. I am 87 and I love what is playing!
Damn right
I love blues, I love jazz, I love rock. But this is not music, this is art.
yo también amo la buena música 🎶 y es justo esa que tu compartes.
So true!!!!❤
Yessssss
Yeaaaa!!!!!!maybe ..more than song!!
This is gift from God ❤
We’ll get this .. I’m 79 years young and I’d just like to say this about that ; 🎵 🎶 The Blues is alright 🎵 The Blues is alright with me 🎵 as therapy for my ongoing Well Being, Peace of Mind & positive Spirit
Blues is the best kind of music there is I remember listening to the blues on my transistor radio when I was a kid and I was suppose to be sleeping. I will be 67 this year and the music never gets old.
Pamela--me too and I'm 73...
I'm just 22 but i can relate
@ Pamela Culp...sho u right. I've loved the blues since I was a child too, n now I'm 65. In the early 60's we lived around the corner from a "juke joint" n we had to pass by it whenever we went places. We had no automobile, therefore we walked everywhere we went, which was either, to school, to church, or downtown. So when we passed by this club, they were mostly always playing "Sweet Sixteen", or something. I wasn't listening to the words at that age, all I heard was those GUITARS TALKING, n I just loved that sound. The best part is:Whenever we passed by that club, n I heard one of my favorite songs on the jukebox, I would ask my mom if I could cross over on the other side of the street, so that I could WALK DIRECTLY in front of the club,😊 n she would. Even at that young age, the blues would move you, n I've been listening, n loving the blues EVERY since. Be safe, stay safe.
@@randybeard6040 ...all ight now!
I'm 14..i can't relate but blues is the best music yeahh..
If you are here you have good music taste.
Been listening to the blues over a week straight! Was in a very bad relationship....messed around and fell in love with someone who doesn't care if am breathing. I finally broke it, the blues is getting me thru.
Stay strong my friend, the blues is the healer!
Oh my…. What quality…. Just stumbled across Don’s playlist and Chris Bell….. i was planning on sleeping….. ah well….
Enjoy the music man!
This blues reminds me of a dear friend who decided to leave this world some time ago, despite the fact that I miss him very much, I keep the best memories of him and to continue fighting life.
Sorry about that mannn you are amor for this...belive me I love your people
I'm a 22 year old white person and I love the blues. I just love all old rock and I can't jive with today's stuff.
You just got a far superior taste than most other people in your/my age. Keep it up. Todays music is soulles fastfood bs. 👌🏻
@@lennard2544 You got a damn good point man. Hagar, Van Halen, GnR, Motley Crue, Poison, Def Leppard.
So smooth, so chilled, so cool. This isn't only music, this is eargasm. Absolutely amazing. I love it! This is def an elevator to heaven. Wow! So gifted! Why don't we have this music any more.
Enjoy my friend! I have more tunes like this on my channel

You will never get the Blues until you live in the Blues.
perfect statement
Cliche’ and silly at once. Two birds w/ one post. Sorry, but it’s true
Vă salut cu drag de la Timișoara din România. Mă relaxez cu această melodie și acest gen de blues. Mulțumesc pentru acest moment de relaxare.🤗👏👏👏👍❤️🤗
Great blues songs all the way to heaven but without a good quitarist is like been married without loving your whife.
Impossível não gostar desse tipo de música. Blues é a música perfeita. Sensacional.
The blues tell life as it is..I love the blues👍🏾
I feel the same
I never lose my love for the blues.
Of course not. Because it is inside you. And if it once is, it will never leave you.
Sorry about that lady...
4 10 24 My Favorite Blues 💙 Song so slow and smooth. I love harmonica music, so sweet bluesy 💙 Time can be a nano second , month , year and thousands of years. There is a place where there is no time, time is only the fourth dimension, there's many more dimensions. I don't like time because it limits you. I have been on 66th street many times 😊

A girl after my own thoughts . Blues is best.

One of the shortest words about happiness, health, care, empathic intelligence, and well-being is the word "LOVE". The more you love, the more the world loves you ❤ The same principle applies to music. The quieter we are, the more we can hear and enjoy ...
This will be my tune when it's my time to ride the Elevator to Heaven..OMG..the finest in slow,soulful blues.
This magnificent solo blues just sang out of my heart. Tear down uncontrollable ♥️♥️♥️

Hi Dear Don. What a fine fine choice. Chris Bell, Elevator To Heaven. Well I think you just elevated me to heaven, and guess what , it was so blissful. That harmonica, so haunting could be heard everywhere. It was devine, and the voice of Chris Bell, excellent. I know I've said it before but slow Blues has such an impact. It delivers you to a different place. Oh' well Don, before I get too carried away (mind you it's lovely getting carried away with such awesome Blues). I'm wishing you on a star to be well and, thanking you for shinning and making it all happen. Have a delightful week. A thousand kisses deep. Anne👍🌵👍😘
Thanks Anne..have a lovely week my friend, wish you the best!
@@DonsTunes Seasonal Greetings Don. Wishing you and yours love, health and happiness in abundance, and ever lasting thanks for hosting us with the best ever Blues. Anne👍🌵👍😘

Well! I guess there’s no garbage music but you mean not your preference? Agree with you this is timeless indeed.
