《99 Years Is Almost for Life》歌词

[00:00:00] The courtroom was crowded the judge waited there

[00:00:08] My mother was crying when I left my chair

[00:00:16] The sentence were sharp for it cut like a knife

[00:00:24] For ninety ninety years folks is almost for life

[00:00:31] I dreamed of the whistle I heard the bells ring

[00:00:40] My sweetheart was coming some good news to bring

[00:00:48] I knew that she loved me and that she'd be true

[00:00:55] She said she would save me I'm guilty as you

[00:01:04] She went for a pardon or else for parole

[00:01:12] I know she'll come back for she's part of my soul

[00:01:20] If she ever fails me I'd be mighty blue I'll stay in

[00:01:28] This jailhouse I'll die in here too

[00:01:44] They said I was a criminal and to my despair

[00:01:52] They sent me to Nashville and shaved off my hair

[00:02:00] So come hear my story I'll tell you my fate

[00:02:07] I'm serving in Nashville for another man's hate

[00:02:16] I just got a letter from Nashville town and after I

[00:02:25] Read it my spirit broke down

[00:02:32] It's sad that my sweetheart and the judge would be wed

[00:02:40] And here in this jailhouse I wish I was dead

[00:02:49] No matter how right folks a man he may be

[00:02:57] Bad company will sent him to prison like me

[00:03:05] So take a good woman and make her your wife

[00:03:13] For ninety ninety years folks is almost for life
