Sister Rosetta Tharpe — 99 1/2 Won't Do lyrics

Lyrics

Lord I’m running
(Lord I’m running)
Trying to make a hundred
(Trying to make a hundred)
Oh, ninety-nine
Ninety-nine and half
You know it won’t do
You said it wouldn’t do
Lord I’m running
(Lord I’m running)
Trying to make a hundred
(Trying to make a hundred)
Ninety-nine (ninety-nine)
And half (and a half)
Won’t do
You said it wouldn’t do
I’m praying hard
(Praying hard)
Trying to make a hundred
(Trying to make a hundred)
Ninety-nine (ninety-nine)
And half (and a half)
You know it won’t do
You said it wouldn’t do
I’m praying hard
(Praying hard)
Trying to make a hundred
(Trying to make a hundred)
Ninety-nine (ninety-nine)
And half (and a half)
Won’t do
You said it wouldn’t do
Praying hard
(Praying hard)
Trying to make a hundred
(Trying to make a hundred)
Ninety-nine (ninety-nine)
And half (and a half)
You know it won’t do
You said it wouldn’t do
Praying hard
(Praying hard)
Trying to make a hundred
(Trying to make a hundred)
Ninety-nine (ninety-nine)
And half
You know it won’t do
You said it wouldn’t do
Lord I’m running
Running, running, running, running
Running, running, running, running
Running, running, running, running, oh, oh, oh
Ninety-nine and half
You know it won’t do
You said it wouldn’t do
Lord I’m running
(Lord I’m running)
Oh, I’m running
(Oh, I’m running)
Oh, ninety-nine
Ninety-nine and half
You know it won’t do
