Ninety Nine

Darling you know exactly what happened

Last year just about this time

Yes, you know exactly what happened

Last year just about this time

You asked me for one hundred dollars

And I didn't have but ninety-nine

Yes, I'm in love with the little girl

Just because she's so nice and kind

I'm in love, I'm in love with the little girl

Just because she so nice and kind

I was so sorry when she asked me for one hundred dollars

I couldn't give her but ninety-nine

Yes, my baby taken sick

On July the twenty-nine

Yes, the one I love she taken sick, boys

On July the twenty-nine

Her doctor billed her four hundred dollars

And I didn't have but three hundred and ninety-nine
