Three Times Seven

Hank Thompson · Hank Thompson & His Brazos Val [2003]

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
