[Verse 1]
Early one morning, the blues come fallin' down
Early one morning, the blues come fallin' down
I was all locked up in jail, I was prison bound
[Verse 2]
Baby you may never, see my face again
You may never see my face again
'Cause the jurors gave me ninety-nine year
You never see me again
[Verse 3]
When they had my crowd baby, you could not be found
When they had my crowd baby, you could not be found
I was all locked up in jail and prison bound
[Verse 4]
The jury looked at me, "Son you got ninety-nine year"
Oh, "Son you got ninety-nine year"
I got to stay behind the country wall
You know the rest of my life
[Verse 5]
It was a no good woman, you know that wrecked my life
It was a no no no, no no no no no good woman
Well well well well well well well well
Well well well well boys, you know that wrecked my life
Tell all your boys what you musn't do
Don't let no woman now boy, lead astray
Do you wind wind up, with ninety-nine year
With ninety-nine year, ninety-nine year
