Ninety-Nine Years Blues
Lord, these 99 blues ain't no fancy dream
If you had two lives to live, you'd know just what I mean
When the judge read the verdict, it nearly knocked me down
Said boy, you got two sixes they're all upside down
It ain't the days I've been here, it's the days I've got to stay
All the old friends I ever had done shook hands and gone away
My good girl told me the day I hit this can
You've made your bed in sorrow, now sleep on it like a man
99 and 99 make one 198
That's four years, pretty normal than you can figure up on your slate
I don't know what else is in the world to lose
'Cause I've lost everything except these 99 blues
If you had two lives to live, you'd know just what I mean
When the judge read the verdict, it nearly knocked me down
Said boy, you got two sixes they're all upside down
It ain't the days I've been here, it's the days I've got to stay
All the old friends I ever had done shook hands and gone away
My good girl told me the day I hit this can
You've made your bed in sorrow, now sleep on it like a man
99 and 99 make one 198
That's four years, pretty normal than you can figure up on your slate
I don't know what else is in the world to lose
'Cause I've lost everything except these 99 blues
