[Db] But early one morning while making the rounds, I took a shot of [Ab] cocaine and I shot my woman down.
I went right home and I went to [Db] bed.
I pressed that [Bb] 11-44 beneath my head.
[Db] Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun.
Took the shot of [Ab] cocaine and away I run.
Made a good run but I run too slow.
[Db] They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico.
Laid in the hot joints, taking the pill.
In walked a sheriff [Ab] from Jericho Hill.
He said, Willi Lee, your name is not Jack Brown.
[Db] You're the [Bb] dirty hack that shot your woman down.
Said, yes, oh yes, my name is Willi Lee.
If you got a warrant, [Ab] just hurry it to me.
Shot her down because she made me so.
[Db] 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 [Ab] and they took me back.
Had no pram for to go [C] my bail.
[Db] They slapped my dried up carcass in the county jail.
Early next morning, about a half past nine, I spot the sheriff [Ab] coming down.
I hand him the gun and I see clear his.
He [Db] said, good morning, you dirty [Bb] hack, and into the district court.
Into the courtroom my trial began.
Where I was handled [Ab] by twelve honest men.
Just before the jury started out, [Db] I saw that little judge commence to look about.
In about five minutes, he walked the man.
Holding the verdicts [Ab] in his right hand.
The verdict read in the first degree.
[C] The other lordy lordy have mercy on me.
[Db] The judge, he smiled as he kicked up his pen.
Ninety-nine years [Ab] in the Folsom pen.
Ninety-nine years underneath that ground.
[Db] I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down.
Come on you gotta [Gb] listen to me.
Lay off that whiskey [Ab] and bust that [Db] cocaine beat.
[Ab]
