Early one morning while making the rounds |
| [00:11.25] |
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down |
| [00:14.56] |
I went right home and I went to bed |
| [00:17.68] |
I stuck that loving 44 beneath my head |
| [00:19.92] |
|
| [00:24.04] |
Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun |
| [00:27.10] |
took a shot of cocaine and away I run |
| [00:30.23] |
Made a good run but I run too slow |
| [00:33.60] |
they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico |
| [00:35.20] |
|
| [00:40.13] |
Late in the hot joints taking the pills |
| [00:43.06] |
in walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill |
| [00:46.37] |
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown |
| [00:49.74] |
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down |
| [00:51.09] |
|
| [00:56.90] |
Said yes oh yes my name is Willy Lee |
| [00:59.83] |
if you've got the warrant just aread it to me |
| [01:03.20] |
Shot her down because she made me sore |
| [01:06.26] |
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more |
| [01:08.08] |
|
| [01:13.00] |
When I was arrested I was dressed in black |
| [01:15.81] |
They put me on a train and they took me back |
| [01:18.87] |
Had no friend for to go my bail |
| [01:21.86] |
they slapped my dried up carcass in that country jail |
| [01:27.04] |
|
| [01:56.25] |
Early next morning bout a half past nine |
| [01:59.12] |
I spied the sheriff coming down the line |
| [02:02.49] |
Ah and he coughed as he cleared his throat |
| [02:05.38] |
He said come on you dirty heck into that district court |
| [02:12.74] |
Into the courtroom my trial began |
| [02:15.68] |
where I was handled by twelve honest men |
| [02:17.16] |
|
| [02:18.84] |
Just before the jury started out |
| [02:22.34] |
I saw the little judge commence to look about |
| [02:28.52] |
In about five minutes in walked the man |
| [02:31.45] |
holding the verdict in his right hand |
| [02:34.57] |
The verdict read in the first degree |
| [02:37.75] |
I hollered Lowdy Lowdy have a mercy on me |
| [02:44.05] |
|
| [02:45.05] |
The judge he smiled as he picked up his ben |
| [02:48.11] |
99 years in the Folsom pen |
| [02:51.35] |
99 years underneath that ground |
| [02:54.48] |
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down |
| [02:57.31] |
|
| [03:01.18] |
Come on you've gotta listen unto me |
| [03:03.86] |
lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be |
