[00:08.54]Well early one evenin' I was rolling around
[00:11.01]I was feelin' kinda mean I shot a deputy down,
[00:14.12]Strolled along home and I went to bed
[00:16.38]Well I laid my pistol up under my head
[00:19.57](He strolled along home)
[00:20.96]I took my time
[00:22.18](And he went to bed)
[00:23.75]Thought I'd sleep some
[00:25.23](Laid his pistrol)
[00:26.63]Big 22"
[00:27.88](Up under his head)
[00:29.32]I keep it handy
[00:33.43]Well early in the mornin' bout the break of day
[00:35.95]I figured it was time to make a getaway
[00:39.00]Steppin' right along but I was steppin' too slow
[00:41.35]Got surrounded by a sheriff down in Mexico
[00:44.31](Well he was steppin' right along)
[00:45.83]I were a hot-footin' it
[00:47.07](But he was steppin' too slow)
[00:48.43]It was a sultry day
[00:50.01](Got surrounded by a sheriff)
[00:51.36]Boxed in
[00:52.63](In Mexico)
[00:54.11]I didn't even have a chance to see the country
[00:58.17]When I was arrested well I didn't have a dime
[01:00.79]The sheriff said, 'Son you're riding free this time
[01:03.97]'Where you're going you won't need a cent
[01:06.07]'Cause the great state of Texas gonna pay your rent
[01:09.52]('Cause where you're going)
[01:10.78]I think he means jail
[01:12.03](You won't need a cent)
[01:13.59]Well he knows I'm broke
[01:14.91]('Cause the great state of Texas)
[01:16.40]Yippee!
[01:17.52](Gonna pay your rent)
[01:19.07]I'm mighty grateful fellas
[01:23.19]Well I didn't have a key and I didn't have a file
[01:26.10]Naturally I stayed around until my trial
[01:28.94]Judge was an old man, Ninety-three
[01:31.37]And I didn't like the way the jury looked at me
[01:34.37](Well the judge was an old man)
[01:35.90]Too old
[01:37.32](Ninety-three)
[01:38.52]Entirely too old
[01:40.04]I didn't like the way,
[01:42.53]The jury looked at me
[01:44.37]I think they were suspicious
[01:47.07](The judge and jury they did agree)
[01:49.82](They all said murder in the first degree)
[01:52.57](The judge said sayin)
[01:54.52]'I dunno whether to hang you or not,
[01:56.12]But this here killin' of deputy sheriffs has just naturally got to stop'
[01:59.53](You gotta point there judge)
[02:02.54]It was a most unsatisfactory trial
[02:04.98]They gave me ninety-nine years on the hard rock pile
[02:08.07]Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground
[02:10.58]And all I ever did was shoot a deputy down
[02:13.49](Ninety and nine)
[02:14.97]It could have been life
[02:15.84](On the hard rock pile)
[02:17.20]They might-a hung me
[02:18.81](And all he ever did,
[02:22.64]Was shoot a deputy down——)
[02:30.02]This whole thing has sure been a lesson to me
[02:34.43](Bang! You're dead!)
