[Am]
Call up [D] Trudy on the telephone
And a letter in [A] the mail
That I'm hung [E] up in Dallas
They won't let me [A] out of this jail
It's
[D] so barren
That I'm just about to lose [A] my mind
Worried about [E] old John Lee Walker
And the girl I left [A] behind
[C] [D] Now John Lee Walker was a car mechanic
Had a hand for trouble and an [A] eye for cash
Luckiest man in [E] Dallas County
He had a gold watch [A] chain and a black mustang
He loved his whiskey and he [D] loved his women
Drove a big long Cadillac [A] limousine
Took my big fine fancy [E] town house in Dallas
And a hotel suite in [A] New Orleans
Curly skit, plain nice and a Nelson [D] Hill bottle
And a .44
hog [G] leg up under [A] his coat
Put you down in the New [E] York minute
If they catch you cheating that was all [D] she wrote
[C] Call [D] up Trudy on the telephone
Send her a letter in the [A] mail
That I'm hung up in [E] Dallas
They won't let me [A] out of this jail
It's so [D]
barren
That I'm just about to [A] lose my mind
Worried about old [E] John Lee Walker
And the girl I [A] left behind
[C]
Just got to town last Friday evening
[N] Sure as hell didn't mean to stay
I [F#] was on my way back to Louisiana
[C] [E] Had a powerful first six months pay
I met a broadside blonde [F#] in a bar on Duval
I was flying high and [C] feeling [C#] mean
[C]
Poured down a bottle and a half of [E] red eye
[G] I [E] dropped $35 in [Em] the slot machine
And the boys in the back was a dealin' [D] seven card
Sit down and won me a hundred [A] and ten
I was raking in chips like Brad [E] took Richmond
John Lee called [A] me strolling in
He let down the table like [D] a seven on seven
Pretty soon he [Bm] done won all of [A] my bread
I accused him of cheating he [E] reached for his skull
I grabbed a chair and went [A] upside his head
And I took off running like [D] a motorcycle
I was puttin' purchase orders
Whining in the [A] sirens well
But it took half the cops in [E] Dallas County
Just to put one cool ass [C] boy in jail
So I called up a truty [D] on the telephone
Sent a letter in the [A] mail
Well I'm hung up [E] in Dallas
They won't let me [A] out of this jail
If you ask me how [D] I'm feeling
Yeah I'm just about to [A] lose my mind
Where did my old Johnny E.
[E] Walker
And the girl I [A] left behind
Call up a truty [D] on the telephone
Sent a letter in the [A] mail
Well I'm hung up [E] in Dallas
They won't let me [A] out of this jail
If you ask me [D] how I'm feeling
Yeah I'm just about to [A] lose my mind
Where did my old [E] Johnny E.
Walker
And the girl I [A] left behind
Call up a truty [D] on the telephone
Sent a letter [A]
