"Three Times Seven"
(Cliffie Stone / Merle Travis)

I'm three times seven baby I do as I doggone please
There ain't nobody this sign of heaven gonna get me on my knees
I'm a three times seven aby I'm gonna have my fun
Well I just won't tame I'm gonna be the same till I'm three times twenty-one

I'm the big duck in a puddle don't you try to push me around
'Cause I don't come in like no lion just to go out like a lamb
I'm three times seven baby that makes twenty-one
Well I love on sight and I fly by night I'm a no good son of a gun

[Guitar]

I'm rough and ready baby and I really feel my oaths
Now I ain't scared of no livin' man or any gun he totes
I'm a triflin' troublemaker and I'm really full of fun
Wild and wooly full of please I'm a no good son of a gun

Way I make my livin' loafin' I never did work a day
Workin' to me just don't agree 'cause I ain't built that way
I'm a rootin' tootin' rounder gals and don't you think that I ain't
Well I might get around to paint the town but I never did like to paint

I'm three times seven baby I do as I doggone please
There ain't nobody this sign of heaven gonna get me on my knees
I'm a three times seven baby and I'm gonna have my fun
Well I just won't tame I'm gonna be the same till I'm three times twenty-one
