Jimmie Rodgers - Ninety-Nine Years Blues lyrics

Lawd these ninety nine 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 six's they're all upside down It ain't the days I've been here it's the days I got to stay All the old friends I ever had done shook hands and gone away My good gal told me the day I hit this can You've made your bed in sorrow now sleep on it like a man Ninety nine and ninety nine make one hundred and ninety eight 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 ninety nine blues
