Cocaine Blues

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down I went right home and I went to bed I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun Took a shot of cocaine and away I run Made a good run but I run too slow They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico Down in that hole just takin' a piss In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill He said Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown You're the dirty fuck that shot your woman down Said yes, oh yes, my name is Willy Lee If you've got a warrant, just a-read it to me I Shot her down because 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 fucked me in the ass in that county jail Early next mornin' bout half past nine I spied the sheriff coming down the line Up then, he coughed as he cleared his throat Said, "Come on you dirty fuck into that district court" Into the courtroom, my trial began Where I was handled by twelve honest men Just before the jury started out I saw that little judge commence to look about In about five minutes in walked the man Holding the verdict in his right hand The verdict read in the first degree I hollered, "Lawdy Lawdy, have mercy on me" The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen 99 years in the Folsom pen 99 years underneath that ground I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down NOW you got a listen unto me Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
