[Db]
I went one morning while making rounds, took a shot of [Fm] cocaine [Ab] and a shot going down.
Went right home and I went to bed, [Db] I slept in loving [E] portables [Fm] beneath my head.
[Db] But the next morning I grabbed that gun, took a shot of [Ab] cocaine and away I run.
Made a good run but I run too close, [Db] they [Dbm] overtook me down in Juarez, [D] Mexico.
[Db] Played in the hot joints, taken the pillow, and walked the sheriff [Ab] from Jericho Hill.
He said, Well, Ely, your name is not Jack [Bb] Brown, [Db] you're the dirty [Dm] hack that shot your home [Ab] about.
[Db] I said, Yes, oh yes, my name is Well, Ely, if you've got a [Ab] warrant just read it to me.
Shot her down because she made me so, [Db] I thought I [D] was her daddy but she had me.
[Db] When I was arrested I was dressed in black, they put me on a [Ab] train and they took me back.
Had no friend for a good while, they [Db] [Bb] slapped my dried up carcass in the county [Ab] jail.
[Db] Got up next morning about half past nine, I spot a [Ab] sheriff coming down the line.
I said, He called says he's got his throat, he [A] said, You dirty hack, get to that district [Bb] court.
[Db] And through the courtroom a trial began, where I was [Eb] handled by twelve honest [Ab] men.
Just before the jury started out, [Fm] I saw that [B] little judge come in to look [Ab] about.
[Bb] [Db] The judge, he smiled as he picked up his pen.
Ninety-nine [Ab] years in the Folsom pen, ninety-nine years underneath [Eb] that [Db] ground.
I can't [Em] forget the day I shot that [Ab] bad dude down.
[Db] Come on you've got [Gb] to listen mine to me, [Eb] lay off that whiskey, liquor, [Db] cocaine, me.
Let it be.
[N] Yeah.
Alright baby, okay, [Bb] alright.
