Lyrics:

Every morning before the break of dawn
My summer sail house is one by one
Pick and shovel in my hand, prove to the one I name natural man
Six months on the road gang, ain't no time
I'm doing one to Ninety Nine

God from my left and on my right
Way from sun up to the dusk at night

Ain't nothing hurt me but my back and side
Ain't nothin' woory me but my wife and child

Since I been here think I'll go mad
What did I ever have to be so bad
If they ever lordy let me go
I will never do wrong no more

Ain't nothing hurt me but my back and side
Ain't nothing worry me but my wife and child

When I was three I thought I was smart
A whole lotta women and a Cadillac car

I had plenty of women boys in my stable
Then I got eyes for my pretty next door neighbour
She was sweet as a woman can be
She kept rolling those pretty eyes at me

I got a little hide and made my midnight (...)
That sweet woman said she was in love with me

Her husband came in about half past four
He caught making love down on the floor
I killed that man in self defense
Ninety nine years will make me learn some sense

Ain't nothing hurt me but my back and side
Ain't nothing worry me but my wife and child

Oh oh oh my back and side
Oh oh oh my wife and child
Oh oh oh my back and side
Oh oh oh my wife and child
