Ninety-Nine Years - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)[00:00:00]

My mama always told me better than to play with a loaded gun[00:00:06]

If I'd've just listened to her she had never had a prisoner for a son[00:00:13]

The picture's still in front of my eyes the echo in my ears[00:00:19]

When the jury said he's guilty and the judge said ninety-nine years[00:00:24]

Oh for ninety-nine years I'll watch the sunrise over that same old sea[00:00:31]

Ninety-nine years nothing but an empty cell for company[00:00:37]

Yet there's not very much that stands between me and the freedom I hold dear[00:00:43]

Just a thousand bars a big brick wall and a sentence of ninety-nine years[00:00:49]

I kissed my darling on her tender lips and they took me by the hand[00:00:55]

I had a nice little ride on a ferry boat to the rock where the prison stands[00:01:01]

The warden said as he locked the door I hope you'll like it here[00:01:07]

Just make yourself a home you're gonna be with us ninety-nine years[00:01:13]

I've almost forgotten what my real name is been a number for so long[00:01:21]

Making little bitty rocks out of great big rocks gets old as the days wear on[00:01:27]

But I'll do my best for ninety-nine years just try to stay alive[00:01:32]

Cause the Governor said if I'd be good I'd get out in ninety-five[00:01:39]

Oh for ninety-nine years I'll watch the sunrise over that same old sea[00:01:45]

Ninety-nine years nothing but an empty cell for company[00:01:51]

Yet there's not very much that stands between me and the freedom I hold dear[00:01:57]

Just a thousand bars a big brick wall and a sentence of ninety-nine years[00:02:03]
