Early one mornin' while making the rounds I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down Went right home and I went to bed I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head Got up next morning and I grabbed my gun I took a shot of cocaine and away I runMade a good run but I run too slow They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico I laid in the hot joint, takin' the pill In walked the Sheriff from Jericho Hill He said, “ Willie Lee, your name is not Jack Brown You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down” Yes, oh yes, my name is Willie Lee If you've got a warrant just read it to me I shot her down 'cause she made me slow I thought I was her daddy but she had five more When I was arrested, I was dressed in black They put me on a train and they took me back I had no friend for to go my bail They slapped my doddered carcass in that county jail The next morning 'bout a half past nine I spied a Sheriff comin' down the line He kind of coughed as he cleared his throat He said, “ Come on you dirty hack, to the district court” I entered the courtroom and my trial began Where I was held by twelve honest men Just before the jury started out I saw that dirty judge commence to look about In about five minutes, in walked a man Holding the verdict in his right hand The verdict read “ In the first degree"I hollered, " Lordy, Lordy, have mercy on me” The judge smiled as he picked up his pen“ Ninety-nine years in the Folsom State Pen”Ninety-nine years underneath that ground I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down Come on you've gotta listen up to me“ Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be”[Incomprehensible]
