Dr. Hook - "99 and Me"
Spoken :
Alright now, Id like to tell you all a story about me and my
brother Billy T.
You see , now when we were just little boys , we use to go visit
my grandma and grandpa for two weeks out of every summer. My
grandpas name was Henry Toliver Sawyer and he was a guard at
the Atmore state prison farm. Going up there for two weeks out
of every summer we got to know some of them convicts pretty good.
They didnt give em no name up at Atmore . No, they just give
em a number. So Im going to tell you all about a couple of
friends of mine now. Tell you about old Fifty. Look out Fifty
- take off runnin now !
Fifty run into the sun
He know he cant get away
Henry brought him down with his double barrel shotgun
Sent him to a better place
Mississippi winds keep calling
Fourteen years since I seen you all
The boss mans heavy hand keeps fallin
God Id rather be dead
Spoken :
You know we got to be just a little bit older, they used to let
us train them old bad dogs. Theyd say now, now you boys take
off out through that cornfield, get up across that creek up into
the woods and find yourself a tall tree cause Im going to turn
them dogs loose. Sometimes wed be out there in them hills, Id
hear those old dogs coming. Make me think I was a convict. Look
out brother Bill, here they come!
Sound of hound dogs close behind closing in on me
I cant run no more its done come my time one shot and Ill be free
Mississippi winds keep calling
Fourteen years since I seen you all
The boss mans heavy hand keeps fallin
God Id rather be dead
Spoken :
Alright, then about that time my life began to pick up, just
a little bit. Cos I met my old friend Ninty-Nine. They called
him Ninty for short. Now you know Ninty cant read nor write,
but they gotta give him a job on the line. So they make him the
official postman. Now old Ninty hed take the mail from the front
gate. Hed walk it up to the first house on the line. Now that
was the Wardens house...so be careful Ninty-Nine. Hed hand
the mail to Mrs. Warden. Shed take what was hers and give it
to Ninty and hed go on down the line. But I remember it was
real hot one Sunday. Me and my grandpa was sittin out on the
front porch, and we heard word down the line that Atmore was
on fire. And it was a bad fire. It was so bad, they had to send
some of the prisoners from Atmore up to Kilby to finish their
term. And sure enough they wanted to send my friend Ninty-Nine.
But he dont want to go...
Late on a rainy July Sunday, Atmore started to burn
They had to send old Ninty against his will to Kilby to finish his term
We heard there was a break from Kilby, somebody we all know
They found old Ninty-Nine knocking on the front door trying to
get back into Atmore...
Mississippi winds keep calling
Fourteen years since I seen you all
The boss mans hand keeps fallin
God, Id rather be dead
