99 to Life

I wish she could be here
Please have mercy on me
In a puddle of blood
The judge he gave me
The good Lord above now
So alone I'm sittin'

Now she's gone and left me
In my prison cell
You know her life is through
The judge he gave me
The judge he gave me
The judge he gave me

Baby lonely nights
I had me a woman
Driven by anger
The rest of my life
Lonely weekends
Baby lonely nights
Instead she's layin'

Lord if she only could
Lonely weekends
On that night I ran
Ninety-nine to life
I thought she'd be my wife
Lonely weekends
Ninety-nine to life
I killed my baby
I'm in a living hell
Ninety-nine to life
I thought that she'd be true
Lonely weekends
She was my baby
I killed her with my knife

In this penitentiary

Lord only knows now
Baby lonely nights
Baby lonely nights
