Two 6's Upside Down

It's a long old time in a hard rock jail

It's a long old time gone by

It's a long old time I've laid in jail

And I still got ninety-nine

You see, I set myself in a gambling game

And I couldn't half play my hand

I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved

Run away with another man

Run away with another man

Run away with another man

I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved

Run away with another man

The cards come 'round the table, Lord

I had such a worried mind

My stack of gold I wasted away

And I lost 'bout ninety-nine

I lost 'bout ninety-nine

I lost 'bout ninety-nine

My stack of gold I wasted away

And I lost 'bout ninety-nine

I walked into the hock shop, boys

I got me a big .44

I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved

That I'd never see no more

That I'd never see no more

That I'd never see no more

I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved

That I'd never see no more

It wasn't long till I seen him again

He run away, left her behind

I laid him low with my old .44

And the judge give me ninety-nine

The judge give me ninety-nine

The judge give me ninety-nine

I laid him low with my old .44

And the judge give me ninety-nine

The jury said, "You'll have to pay"

The clerk, he looked around

The mean old judge, he spoke my number, Lord

Two sixes upside down

Two sixes upside down

Two sixes upside down

The mean old judge, he called my number, Lord

Two sixes upside down

It's a long old time in a hard rock jail

It's a long old time gone by

It's a long old time I've laid in jail

And I still got ninety-nine

It's a long old time in a hard rock jail

It's a long old time gone by

It's a long old time laid in this jail

And I still got ninety-nine

Two sixes upside down

Two sixes upside down
