Ninety Nine Year Blues Chords & Lyrics - Hank Snow

[C]Lawd these ninety nine blues ain't no fancy dream

If [G7]you had two lives to live you'd know just what I [C]mean

When the judge read the verdict it nearly knocked me down

Said [G7]boy you got two six's they're all upside [C]down


It ain't the days I've been here it's the days I got to stay

All [G7]the old friends I ever had done shook hands and gone [C]away


My good gal told me the day I hit this can

You've [G7]made your bed in sorrow now sleep on it like a [C]man


Ninety nine and ninety nine make one hundred and ninety eight

That's [G7]four years pretty normal than you can figure up on your [C]slate


I don't know what else is in the world to lose

Cause [G7]I've lost everything except these ninety nine [C]blues
