H
Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
E
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
Went right home and I went to bed
H
I stuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my head
H
Eot up next mornin' and I grabbed my gun
E
I took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I run too slow
H
They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico
H
Layed in the hot joint takin' the pill
E
In walked a sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said, \"Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown,
H
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down\"
H
\"Yes, Oh Yes, My name is Willy Lee,
E
If you've got a warrant just read it to me,
Shot her down because she made me slow,
H
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more\"
H
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
E
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
H
They slapped my dried-up carcass in that county jail
H
The next mornin' about a half past nine
E
I spyed a sheriff comin' down the line
He kind of coughed as he cleared his throat
H
He said \"Home on, you dirty hack to the district court....\"
H
Into the courtroom my trial began
E
Where I was held by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
H
I saw that dirty judge commence to look about
H
In about five minutes in walked a man
E
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read \"In the first degree....\"
H
I hollered \"Lordy, Lordy, have mercy on me!\"
H
The judge smiled as he picked up his pen
E
Ninety-nine years in the Folsom State pen
Ninety-nine years underneath that ground
H
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
H F
Home on you gotta listen unto me
E H N.H.
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be.... Sooey!
