As I sat down to a gambhling game I could hardly play my hand For thinking about that woman I love, run away with another man Run away with another man, poor boy, run away with another man I'm thinking about that woman I love, run away with another man I bought her everything she needs I dressed her up so fine She caused me to work for forty years, I've still got ninety nine I've still got ninety nine, poor boy, I've still got ninety nine She coused me to work for forty years, I've still got ninety nine I stroll down to the old depot just to watch the train roll by I looked in the window saw the woman I loved, hung sown my head and cried Hung down my head and cried poor boy, hung down my head and cried I looked in the window saw the woman I loved, hung down my head and cried They took me down to the old jailhouse, the door they slammed on me Said if you'll report that moonshine still, I'll see that you got free I'll see that you go free poor boy, I'll see that you go free If you'll report that moonshine still, I'll see that you go free I told my age was twenty one, the truth I told that time Before I'll report that moonshine still, I'll go and serve my time I'll go and serve my time poor boy, I'll go and serve my time Before I'll report that moonshine still, I'll go and serve my time
