Loading...

[verse 1]
oh, the court room was crowded, the judge waited there
oh, my mother was crying lord, when i left my chair
oh, the sentence was sharp for, it cut like a knife
for ninety nine years boys is almost for life

[verse 2]
oh, i dreamed of a whistle, i heard the bells ring
my sweetheart was coming, with some good news to bring
for she said that she loved me, well, she said she’d be true
she said that she’d save me for i’m as guilty as you

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
oh, thеy said i was a criminal, and to my despair
lord, they sent mе to nashville, boys they shaved off my hair
so you come hear my story, i will tell you my fate
i’m serving here in nashville for another man’s hate

[verse 4]
well, i just got this letter from old nashville town
and after i read it, you know my spirit broke down
for it’s said that my sweetheart and that judge would be wed
and here in your jailhouse, i wished i was dead
[instrumental break]

[verse 5]
well, no matter how rightful, a man he may be
bad company will send him lord to prison like me
so you find a good woman and you make her your wife
for ninety nine years boys, tis almost for life

[outro]
for ninety nine years boys, tis almost for life
