Three Times Seven by Merle Travis Lyrics

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 I'm a-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

I'm rough and ready
And I really feel my oats
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 woolly and a-full of fleas
I'm a no good son of a gun

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 I'm a-gonna have my fun
Well, I just won't tame, I'm gonna be the same
Till I'm three times twenty-one

I make my livin' loafin'
And I never did work a day
Workin' and me just don't agree
'Cause I ain't built that way

I'm a-rootin'-tootin' rounder gals
And don't you think I ain't
Well, I might get around to paintin' the town
But I never did like to paint

'Cause I'm three times seven
And I do as I doggone please
Ain't nobody this side of heaven
Gonna get me on my knees
I'm three times seven
And I'm a-gonna have my fun
Well, I just won't tame, I'm gonna be the same
Till I'm three times twenty-one
