( A. Neville )

Too many, too many mornings, gotta wake up soon
Too many, too many mornings, whoa Lord gotta wake
up soon Oh and eat my breakfast by the light of
the moon

It was late, very late last summer, when I first
got my time Whoa it was late, very very late last
summer you know when I, I first got my time My
buddy got one hundred years, thank the Lord I just
got ninety-nine

If you see, if you see my Mama, won't you tell her
this for me Lord, if you see , if you see my dear
old mother, won't you please tell her this for me
I got a long long time and Lord knows when I'm
gonna be free

You know they come up here a skippin' and a
jumpin' but you know that they won't last long

but you know that they won't last long One day
they're gonna wish they were a baby boy in their
mothers arms

You know they're always, always talking about
dangerous blue Whoa, you know they're always
talking about dangerous blue If I had my big old
pistol, you know I'd be dangerous too

Twelve jury men found me guilty, the doorman
looked me up and down Lord, twelve jury men found
me guilty, you know the doorman looked me up and
down Just looked at me through the corner of his
eye and said boy, you're penitentiary bound

One day, one day down in New Orleans, all the
girls gonna jump and shout Lord, one day down in
New Orleans all the girls gonna jump and shout
When them big green gates open up wide, I'll come
steppin' out
