I'm a long time woman
And i'm serving my time
I've been lock away so long now
I forgot my crime
I've been working on the road now
I've been working by the sea
I've been working near them cane fields
And I wanna be free
It's ninety nine years is a long long long time
Ninety nine years is such a long long long time
Ninety nine years is a long long long time
Look at me, I'll never be free
'Cause I'm a long time woman
Ain't nobody to please
I've got a natural feelings
Like a bad disease
It's ninety nine years is a long long long time
Ninety ninety nine years is such a long long time
Ninety nine years is a long long long time
Look at me, I'll never be free
