So I sat myself down in a gambling game
But I could not play my hand
Just thinking about that woman I love
Run away with another man
Run away with another man poor boy
Run away with another man
Just thinking about that woman I love
Run away with another man
The cards came around the table lord
And I had such a worried mind
My stack of gold dollars I wasted away
And I lost about ninety- nine
I lost about ninety- nine poor boy
I lost about ninety- nine
My stack of gold dollars I wasted away
And I lost about ninety- nine
It wasn't very long till I seen him again
He ran away left her behind
And the judge gave me ninety- nine
The judge gave me ninety- nine poor boy
The judge gave me ninety- nine
I laid a man down with my big
And the judge gave me ninety- nine
