volume five - 95 years lyrics

[verse 1]
excuse me, boss, i need some water
temperature is gettin’ hotter
on this old rock pile i’m workin’ on today
tell the boys it ain’t no fun
swingin’ this hammer in the sun
turn your back the color of the georgia clay
although i had a good life
i thought i had a good wife
’til i found her in the arms of another man
somethin’ deep inside me snapped that day
a shotgun blew ’em both away
now i’m stuck here in this prison ’til the end

[chorus]
ninety+five years with a ball and chain
workin’ in the hot sun and the pourin’ rain
the day i put her in the ground
my life turned upside down
ninety+five years full of tears and endless pain

[verse 2]
her pink gingham dresses
blue eyes and golden tresses
beauty to behold right from the start
she was a poor farmer’s daughter
the fancy things i bought her
couldn’t melt the ice around her cold cold heart
i should have left her in that shack
without ever lookin’ back
i can’t turn the clock back, it’s too late
that beauty cut me like a knife
put me in this pen for life
that evil+hearted woman sealed my fate
[chorus]
ninety+five years with a ball and chain
workin’ in the hot sun and the pourin’ rain
the day i put her in the ground
my life turned upside down
ninety+five years full of tears and endless pain
