[C]
Early one morning while making the rounds, I took a shot of [G] cocaine and I shot my baby down.
I shot her down and I went to [C] bed, I stuck that lovin' .44
beneath my head.
Woke up next morning and I grabbed that gun, I took a shot of [G] cocaine and away I run.
Made a good run but I run too [C] slow, they overtook me down and wore us Mexico.
I hit him in the high jaw and staked him the pill, and walked the sheriff [G] from Chirico Hill.
Willie Lee, your name is not Jack Brown, you're the dirty hack that shot your woman [A] down.
[C] Yes, oh yes, my name is Willie Lee, if you've got a warrant you [G] better read it to me.
I shot her down, just to make it slow, [C] I thought I was her daddy but she had five more.
When I was arrested I was dressed in black, they threw me on a free [G] train and hauled me back.
I had no friends before they called my bell, [C] they struck my dad off carcass in that county jail.
[G] [C]
[F] [C]
[G] [C]
Early next morning around half past nine, I saw a [G] sheriff coming down the line.
That sheriff yelled as he cleared his throat, take him on you dirty hack and to that district [C] court.
Into the courtroom my trial began, for I was [G] judged by twelve honest men.
Just as the jury started walking [C] out, I saw that little judge commence to look about.
In about five minutes in walked a man, holding the verdict [G] in his right hand.
The verdict read in the first degree, well I shouted Lordy, Lordy, please have mercy on [C] me.
The judge he smiled when he picked up his pen, ninety nine [G] years in the same Quentin pen.
Ninety nine years underneath that [C] crown, but I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down.
[F] Come on you hotheads listen unto [G] me, say all that was key, let that [C] cocaine be.
