[00:00.00]Ninety Years - Burl Ives (伯尔·艾夫斯)
[00:05.95]My mama always told me better than to play with a loaded gun
[00:12.94]If I'd've just listened to her she had never had a prisoner for a son
[00:18.90]The picture's still in front of my eyes the echo in my ears
[00:24.64]When the jury said he's guilty and the judge said ninety-nine years
[00:30.85]Oh for ninety-nine years I'll watch the sunrise over that same old sea
[00:37.17]Ninety-nine years nothing but an empty cell for company
[00:42.90]Yet there's not very much that stands between me and the freedom I hold dear
[00:49.07]Just a thousand bars a big brick wall and a sentence of ninety-nine years
[00:55.62]I kissed my darling on her tender lips and they took me by the hand
[01:01.16]I had a nice little ride on a ferry boat to the rock where the prison stands
[01:07.34]The warden said as he locked the door I hope you'll like it here
[01:13.23]Just make yourself a home you're gonna be with us ninety-nine years
[01:21.02]I've almost forgotten what my real name is been a number for so long
[01:26.75]Making little bitty rocks out of great big rocks gets old as the days wear on
[01:32.66]But I'll do my best for ninety-nine years just try to stay alive
[01:38.84]Cause the Governor said if I'd be good I'd get out in ninety-five
[01:44.89]Oh for ninety-nine years I'll watch the sunrise over that same old sea
[01:51.18]Ninety-nine years nothing but an empty cell for company
[01:56.81]Yet there's not very much that stands between me and the freedom I hold dear
[02:02.83]Just a thousand bars a big brick wall and a sentence of ninety-nine years
