Early one morning while making the rounds, I took a shot of [G] cocaine and I shot my baby down.
Shot her down and I went to bed, [C] but I snuck that [G] loving .44
beneath my [C] head.
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 slow, [C] they overtook me down in Juarez, [C] Mexico.
Heard the high joint taking the pill, he walked [G] the sheriff from Tarrico Hills.
Willie, your name is not Jack Brown, [C] you're the dirty hacking [G] Chacha woman [C] now.
Yes, oh yes, my name is Willie, if you got [G] a warrant you better read it to me.
Shot her down, just she made me sore, [C] I thought it [D] was her daddy but she had five [C] more.
Early next morning around half past nine, I saw a sheriff [G] coming down the line.
That sheriff yelled as he cleared his throat, [C] say come on you [D] dirty hacking [C#] to that district court.
[C] When I was arrested I was dressed in black, they put me [G] on a freight train, they hauled me back.
Had no friend, wouldn't go by bail, [C] at least nothing was dried on carcass in [G] that New Jersey [C] jail.

Into the courtroom where my trial began, where [G] I was judged by a twelve honest man.
The sanctuary [D] started [G] walking out, [C] when I saw that little judge commence to look [A] about.
[C] About five minutes in walked a man, holding the verdict [G] in his right hand.
The verdict rang the first degree [C] and I [N] shouted not enough.
[C] The judge smiled when he picked up his can, nine to nine [G] years in the New Jersey can.
Nine to nine years underneath that ground and I can't forget the [C] day I shot that bad bitch.
