Early one mornin' while makin' the round I took a shot of cocaine and I
E
shot my woman down I went right home and I went to bed
A
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head
A
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun, Took a shot of cocaine and
E
away I run, made a good run but I ran too slow
A
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico

Late in the hot joints takin' the pills, In walked the sheriff from

Jericho Hill He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
A
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down
A
Said yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee, If you've got the warrant just
E

A
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more

A

E
twelve honest men, Just before the jury started out

In about five minutes in walked the man, Holding the verdict in
E
his right hand, The verdict read murder in the first degree
A
I hollered Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me

Folsom pen, 99 years underneath that ground
A
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
A
Come on you've gotta listen
B7 E A
unto me, Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be.
