C Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds G I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down Went right home and I went to bed C I stuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my head C Got up next mornin' and I grabbed my gun G I took a shot of cocaine and away I run Made a good run but I run too slow C They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico C Layed in the hot joint takin' the pill G In walked a sheriff from Jericho Hill He said, "Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown, C You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down" C "Yes, Oh Yes, My name is Willy Lee, G If you've got a warrant just read it to me, Shot her down because she made me slow, C I thought I was her daddy but she had five more" C When I was arrested I was dressed in black G They put me on a train and they took me back Had no friend for to go my bail C They slapped my dried-up carcass in that county jail C The next mornin' about a half past nine G I spyed a sheriff comin' down the line He kind of coughed as he cleared his throat C He said "Come on, you dirty hack to the district court...." C Into the courtroom my trial began G Where I was held by twelve honest men Just before the jury started out C I saw that dirty judge commence to look about C In about five minutes in walked a man G Holding the verdict in his right hand The verdict read "In the first degree...." C I hollered "Lordy, Lordy, have mercy on me!" C The judge smiled as he picked up his pen G Ninety-nine years in the Folsom State pen Ninety-nine years underneath that ground C I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down C F Come on you gotta listen unto me G C N.C. Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be.... Sooey!
