[00:00.00] ******* Blues
[00:01.04] (johnny cash)
[00:01.08]
[00:01.20] Early one morning while making the rounds
[00:05.58] I took a shot of ******* 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 ******* 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 ******* down
[02:21.55] Come on you've gotta listen unto me
[02:25.49] lay off that whiskey and let that ******* be
[02:32.00]
[02:35.49]
[02:36.49]
