This doggone strike soon gonna end.I don't see how I can last much longer.You know it's been ninety days.Ninety days, ninety days.People, an I sure don't see no end.[Spoken]It's been ninety days, already!It's been ninety days, been ninety days. Are over!An I sure don't see no end.My wife an my baby, my baby.Lord, they grieve, cry over me.Lord have mercy.'Daddy, what in the world you gonna do?'
