Three Times Seven

(album: The Elementary Doctor Watson! - 1972)

I'm three times seven and I do as I doggone please
There ain't no woman this side of heaven gonna get me on my knees
I'm three times seven, gals, and that makes twenty-one
Lord, I just won't tame: I'm gonna be the same 'till I'm three times twenty-one

I make my living a-loafing' and I ain't never worked a day
Working and me just can't agree, I reckon I ain't filled that way
I'm a rooting hooting rounder, gals, now don't you think I ain't
I might get around to painting the town, but I never did like to paint

'Cause I'm three times seven and I do as I doggone please
No pretty thing this side of heaven gonna get me on my knees
Yes, I'm three times seven, that makes twenty-one
I just won't tame: I'm gonna be the same 'till I'm three times twenty-one

I'm a trav'lin trouble maker and I really feal my oats
I ain't afraid of no big man or of any old gun he toas
I'm the big duck in the puddle and don't you try to push me around, boy
I didn't come in like no lion just to go out like a lamb

I'm three times seven and I do as I doggone please
There ain't nobody this side of heaven gonna get me on my knees
I'm three times seven and that makes twenty-one
I'm wild an woolly and full of flees, I'm a no good son of a gun
