Early one morning while making the rounds |
| [00:10.56] |
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down |
| [00:16.17] |
I went right home and I went to bed |
| [00:19.92] |
I stuck that loving 44 beneath my head |
| [00:24.66] |
Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun |
| [00:28.16] |
took a shot of cocaine and away I run |
| [00:32.21] |
Made a good run but I run too slow |
| [00:35.71] |
they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico |
| [00:40.39] |
Late in the hot joints taking the pills |
| [00:44.00] |
in walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill |
| [00:47.50] |
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown |
| [00:51.68] |
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down |
| [00:56.30] |
Said yes oh yes my name is Willy Lee |
| [00:59.36] |
if you've got the warrant just aread it to me |
| [01:03.23] |
Shot her down because she made me sore |
| [01:07.22] |
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more |
| [01:13.46] |
When I was arrested I was dressed in black |
| [01:17.20] |
They put me on a train and they took me back |
| [01:21.38] |
Had no friend for to go my bail |
| [01:24.88] |
they slapped my dried up carcass in that country jail |
| [01:29.68] |
Early next morning bout a half past nine |
| [01:32.68] |
I spied the sheriff coming down the line |
| [01:36.67] |
Ah and he coughed as he cleared his throat |
| [01:40.10] |
He said come on you dirty heck into that district court |
| [01:45.05] |
Into the courtroom my trial began |
| [01:48.15] |
where I was handled by twelve honest men |
| [01:52.52] |
Just before the jury started out |
| [01:56.21] |
I saw the little judge commence to look about |
| [02:01.38] |
In about five minutes in walked the man |
| [02:05.44] |
holding the verdict in his right hand |
| [02:08.90] |
The verdict read in the first degree |
| [02:12.65] |
I hollered Lowdy Lowdy have a mercy on me |
| [02:17.39] |
The judge he smiled as he picked up his ben |
| [02:20.88] |
99 years in the Folsom pen |
| [02:24.25] |
99 years underneath that ground |
| [02:28.37] |
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down |
| [02:33.05] |
Come on you've gotta listen unto me |
| [02:36.48] |
lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be |
