Early one mornin'while makin'the rounds |
| [00:05.196] |
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down |
| [00:09.94] |
I went right home and I went to bed I stuck that lovin'44beneath my head |
| [00:17.517] |
Got up next mornin'and I grabbed that gun took a shot of cocaine and away I run |
| [00:24.904] |
Made a good run but I run too slow they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico |
| [00:31.798] |
Late in the hot joints takin'the pills in walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill |
| [00:40.797] |
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown |
| [00:44.656] |
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down |
| [00:48.687] |

| [01:02.968] |
When I was arrested I was dressed in black |
| [01:08.14] |
They put me on a train and they took me back |
| [01:12.248] |
Had no friend for to go my bail they slapped my dried up carcass in that country jail |
| [01:18.596] |
Early next mornin'bout a half past nine I spied the sheriff coming down the line |
| [01:27.568] |
Ah and he coughed as he cleared his throat |
| [01:31.15] |
He said come on you dirty heck into that district court |
| [01:33.574] |
Into the courtroom my trial began where I was handled by twelve honest men |
| [01:43.281] |
Just before the jury started out I saw the little judge commence to look about |
| [01:51.181] |
In about five minutes in walked the man holding the verdict in his right hand |
| [01:58.667] |
The verdict read in the first degree I hollered Lowdy Lowdy have a mercy on me |
| [02:06.785] |
The judge he smiled as he picked up his ben 99years in the Folsom pen |
| [02:14.582] |
99years underneath that ground I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down |
| [02:22.381] |
