A
Early one mornin while making the rounds, I
took a shot of cocaine and I shot
E
my
woman
down, I went right home and I went to bed!
A
I stuck that lovin’ 44 beneath my head.
A
Got up next mornin’ and I grabbed that gun.
I took a shot of cocaine a
E
nd away I run,
made a good run but I run to slow
A
they over took me down in Juarez, Mexico!
A
Late in the hot joints takin’ the pills
in walked the sheriff from
E
Jericho
Hill.
He said willy Lee your name is not Jack
Brown! Y
A
ou’re they dirty hack that shot your
woman down!
A
I said oh yes my name is Willy
Lee, if you got a warrant
E
aread it to me.
Shot her down because she made me slow.
A
I thought I was her daddy but she had 5 more
A
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
they put me on a train and they
E
took me back
had no friend for to go my bail
A
they slapped my dried up carcass in that
county jail.
A
Early next mornin’ bout a half
past nine,I spied a sheriff comin
E
down
the
line; talked and he coughed as he cleared
his throat.
A
He said come on you dirty hack
into that district court!
A
Into the court
room my trial began. Where I was held by
E
12
honest men. Just before the jury started out
A
I saw that little judge commence to look
around.
A
In about 5 minutes in walked a man
holding the verdict in
E
his right hand,
the verdict read in the first degree.
A
I
hollered lordy lordy have a mercy on me!
A
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
99 years in the
E
folsom pen. 99 years
underneath that ground!
A
I can’t forget the
day I shot that bad bitch down!
A
Come on you
gotta listen unto me!
D
Lay off that Whiskey
and
E
let that Cocaine
A
be!
I hope Ya’ll liked it! Have Fun! 🙂
