Merle Travis — Three Times Seven

I'm three times seven And I do as I doggone please There ain't nobody this side of heaven Gonna get me on my knees I'm three times seven And I'm a-gonna have my fun Well, I just won't tame, I'm gonna be the same Till I'm three times twenty-one I'm the big duck in a puddle Don't you try to push me around 'Cause I don't come in like no lion Just to go out like a lamb I'm three times seven, baby That makes twenty-one Well, I love on sight and I fly by night I'm a no good son of a gun I'm rough and ready And I really feel my oats I ain't scared of no livin' man Or any gun he totes I'm a triflin' troublemaker And I'm really full of fun Wild and woolly and a-full of fleas I'm a no good son of a gun I'm three times seven And I do as I doggone please There ain't nobody this side of heaven Gonna get me on my knees I'm three times seven And I'm a-gonna have my fun Well, I just won't tame, I'm gonna be the same Till I'm three times twenty-one I make my livin' loafin' And I never did work a day Workin' and me just don't agree 'Cause I ain't built that way I'm a-rootin'-tootin' rounder gals And don't you think I ain't Well, I might get around to paintin' the town But I never did like to paint 'Cause I'm three times seven And I do as I doggone please Ain't nobody this side of heaven Gonna get me on my knees I'm three times seven And I'm a-gonna have my fun Well, I just won't tame, I'm gonna be the same Till I'm three times twenty-one
