flatt and scruggs - Ninety Nine Years Is Almost For Life слова песни
The courtroom was crowded the judge waited thereMy mother was crying when I left my chairThe sentence were sharpful they cut like a knifeFor ninety ninety years folks is almost for lifeI dreamed of the whistle I heard the bells ringMy sweetheart was coming some good news to bringI knew that she loved me and that she`d be trueShe said she would save me I`m guilty as youShe went for a pardon or else for paroleI know she`ll come back for she`s part of my soulIf she ever fails me I`d be mighty blue I`ll stay in this jailhouse I`ll die in here too[ dobro ]They said I was a criminal and to my despairThey sent me to Nashville and shaved off my hairSo come hear my story I`ll tell you my fateI`m serving in Nashville for another man`s hateI just got a letter from Nashville town and after I read it my spirit broke downIt`s sad that my sweetheart and the judge would be wedAnd here in this jailhouse I wish I was deadNo matter how right folks a man he may beBad company will sent him to prison like meSo take a good woman and make her your wifeFor ninety ninety years folks is almost for life
