Two 6's Upside Down

It's a long old time in a hard rock jail

It's a long old time gone by

It's a long old time I've laid in jail

And I still got 99

You see I set myself in a gambling game

And I couldn't half play my hand

I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved

Run away with another man

Run away with another man

Run away with another man

I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved

Run away with another man

The cards come 'round the table, Lord

I had such a worried mind

My stack of gold, I wasted away

And I lost 'bout 99

I lost 'bout 99

I lost 'bout 99

My stack of gold, I wasted away

And I lost 'bout 99

I walked into the hock shop, boys

I got me a big .44

I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved

That I'd never see no more

That I'd never see no more

That I'd never see no more

I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved

That I'd never see no more

It wasn't long 'til I seen him again

He run away, left her behind

I laid him low with my old .44

And the judge give me 99

The judge give me 99

The judge give me 99

I laid him low with my old .44

And the judge give me 99

The jury said “you'll have to pay”

The clerk, he looked around

The mean old judge, he spoke my number, Lord

Two 6's upside down

Two 6's upside down

Two 6's upside down

The mean old judge, he called my number, Lord

Two 6's upside down

It's a long old time in a hard rock jail

It's a long old time gone by

It's a long old time I've laid in jail

And I still got 99

It's a long old time in a hard rock jail

It's a long old time gone by

It's a long old time laid in this jail

And I still got 99

Two 6's upside down

Two 6's upside down
