ninety-nine - bill anderson lyrics

my mama always told me better than to play with a loaded gun
if i’d’ve just listened to her she’d’ve never had a prisoner for a son
the picture’s still in front of my eyes the echo in my ears
when the jury said he’s guilty and the judge said ninety-nine years
oh for ninety-nine years i’ll watch the sunrise over that some old sea
ninety-nine years nothing but an empty cell for company
yet there’s not very much that stands between me and the freedom i hold dear
just a thousand bars a big brick wall and a sentence of ninety-nine years

i kissed my darling on her tender lips and they took me by the hand
i had a nice little ride on a ferry boat to the rock where the prison stands
the warden said as he locked the door i hope you’ll like it here
just make yourself a home you’re gonna be with us ninety-nine years
i’ve almost forgotten what my real name is been a number for so long
making little bitty rocks out of great big rocks gets old as the days wear on
but i’ll do my best for ninety-nine years just try to stay alive
cause the governor said if i’d be good i’d get out in ninety-five
oh for ninety-nine years…
