99 TO LIFE

 

Lyrics written by Joe Richardson

 

 

Got 99 to life

Stabbed a man with a butcher knife

Ain't no way out in sight

All this sufferin' serve me right

 

Mornin' grub, gon' need me some

But it's covered with spit and cum

Nothin' but water now

Gonna help when I hit that plow

The man sittin' on the hoss

Shotgun says he's boss

Got 99 to life

 

The bossman's got that gun

Gotcha workin' in the sun

Gotcha poundin' with that hoe

Better finish up that row

Shotgun done gone off

Poor Georgie died with one last cough

He went face down in the dirt

And the boss yelled "back to work!"

So tired I'm stumblin' drunk

Sweat stinkin' like a skunk

Dust dryin' on my brow

Like a mule behind that plow

 

Got 99 to life

Stabbed a man with a butcher knife

Ain't no way out in sight

All this sufferin' serve me right
