Early one morning while making the rounds |
| [00:07.43] |
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down |
| [00:11.62] |
I went right home and I went to bed |
| [00:15.71] |
I stuck that loving 44 beneath my head |
| [00:19.97] |
Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun |
| [00:23.65] |
took a shot of cocaine and away I run |
| [00:27.58] |
Made a good run but I run too slow |
| [00:31.64] |
they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico |
| [00:34.76] |
Late in the hot joints taking the pills |
| [00:39.32] |
in walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill |
| [00:42.75] |
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown |
| [00:47.38] |
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down |
| [00:50.95] |
Said yes oh yes my name is Willy Lee |
| [00:54.85] |
if you've got the warrant just aread it to me |
| [00:59.11] |
Shot her down because she made me sore |
| [01:02.61] |
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more |
| [01:06.60] |
When I was arrested I was dressed in black |
| [01:12.59] |
They put me on a train and they took me back |
| [01:16.71] |
Had no friend for to go my bail |
| [01:20.51] |
they slapped my dried up carcass in that country jail |
| [01:24.01] |
Early next morning bout a half past nine |
| [01:28.35] |
I spied the sheriff coming down the line |
| [01:31.92] |
Ah and he coughed as he cleared his throat |
| [01:36.05] |
He said come on you dirty heck into that district court |
| [01:39.48] |
Into the courtroom my trial began |
| [01:43.23] |
where I was handled by twelve honest men |
| [01:47.85] |
Just before the jury started out |
| [01:51.53] |
I saw the little judge commence to look about |
| [01:55.65] |
In about five minutes in walked the man |
| [02:01.03] |
holding the verdict in his right hand |
| [02:04.41] |
The verdict read in the first degree |
| [02:07.99] |
I hollered Lowdy Lowdy have a mercy on me |
| [02:12.24] |
The judge he smiled as he picked up his ben |
| [02:16.74] |
99 years in the Folsom pen |
| [02:20.11] |
99 years underneath that ground |
| [02:23.85] |
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down |
| [02:28.22] |
Come on you've gotta listen unto me |
| [02:31.65] |
lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be |
