C#
Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds, I took a shot of cocaine and I
G#
shot my woman down. I went right home and I went to bed.
C#
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head
[Verse 2]
C#
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun, took a shot of cocaine and
G#
away I run. Made a good run but I run too slow
C#
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico.
[Verse 3]
C#
Late in the hot joints takin' the pills, in walked the sheriff from
G#
Jericho Hill. He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown.
C#
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down.
[Verse 4]
C#
Said yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee, if you've got the warrant just
G#
a-read it to me. Shot her down because she made me slow.
C#
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more.
[Verse 5]
C#
When I was arrested I was dressed in black, they put me on a train and they
G#
took me back. Had no friend for to go my bail.
C#
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail

C#
Early next mornin' about a half past nine, I spied the sheriff coming
G#
down the line. Talked and he coughed as he cleared his throat, he said
C#
come on you dirty heck into that district court.
[Verse 7]
C#
Into the courtroom my trial began where I was handled by
G#
twelve honest men. Just before the jury started out
C#
I saw the little judge commence to look about.
[Verse 8]
C#
In about five minutes in walked a man, Holding the verdict in
G#
his right hand. The verdict read in the first degree.
C#
I hollered Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me.
[Verse 9]
C#
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen 99 years in the
G#
Folsom pen. 99 years underneath that ground.
C#
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down.
[Verse 10]
C#
Come on you've gotta listen
F# G# C#
unto me, lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be.
[End]
