Early one morning while making the rounds |
| [00:05.58] |
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down |
| [00:09.68] |
I went right home and I went to bed |
| [00:13.45] |
I stuck that loving 44 beneath my head |
| [00:17.46] |
Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun |
| [00:21.15] |
took a shot of cocaine and away I run |
| [00:24.53] |
Made a good run but I run too slow |
| [00:28.39] |
they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico |
| [00:32.41] |
Late in the hot joints taking the pills |
| [00:36.27] |
in walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill |
| [00:40.30] |
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown |
| [00:44.26] |
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down |
| [00:48.01] |
Said yes oh yes my name is Willy Lee |
| [00:51.77] |
if you've got the warrant just aread it to me |
| [00:55.56] |
Shot her down because she made me sore |
| [00:59.49] |
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more |
| [01:03.57] |
When I was arrested I was dressed in black |
| [01:07.52] |
They put me on a train and they took me back |
| [01:11.32] |
Had no friend for to go my bail |
| [01:15.20] |
they slapped my dried up carcass in that country jail |
| [01:19.09] |
Early next morning bout a half past nine |
| [01:23.47] |
I spied the sheriff coming down the line |
| [01:27.24] |
Ah and he coughed as he cleared his throat |
| [01:30.60] |
He said come on you dirty heck into that district court |
| [01:34.91] |
Into the courtroom my trial began |
| [01:38.79] |
where I was handled by twelve honest men |
| [01:42.93] |
Just before the jury started out |
| [01:46.67] |
I saw the little judge commence to look about |
| [01:50.41] |
In about five minutes in walked the man |
| [01:54.20] |
holding the verdict in his right hand |
| [01:58.37] |
The verdict read in the first degree |
| [02:02.43] |
I hollered Lowdy Lowdy have a mercy on me |
| [02:05.93] |
The judge he smiled as he picked up his ben |
| [02:09.78] |
99 years in the Folsom pen |
| [02:13.61] |
99 years underneath that ground |
| [02:17.48] |
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down |
| [02:21.55] |
Come on you've gotta listen unto me |
| [02:25.49] |
lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be |
| [02:32.00] |
|
| [02:35.49] |

| [02:36.49] |
