Deeds I Done

Deeds I Done
(Blair Babcock)

Doin’ my time for the deeds I done
I robbed a man I was twenty-one
I spent 5 years in the Kent County Jail
Then 2 more ‘fore I could go my bail

I spent 12 years in the Perth County pen
It wasn’t long ‘fore I was back again
Spent half my years doin’ half my time
Won’t be a free man ‘til I’m 99

I shot a man nearly took his life
I shot him once so I shot him twice
Sheriff call the tracking hounds
Dead man’s hat lay on the ground

(Chorus)
Spent half my years doing half my time
Won’t be a free man ‘til I’m 99
Sit right here sing a sad ol’ song
‘Bout all them rights I gone done wrong

I don’t know what scares me more
A lonely life on the jailhouse floor
Or to be set free when I’m 99
And face a world no longer mine

(Chorus)
