[Am] Call up Trudy [D] on the telephone, send her a letter in the [A] mail, that I'm hung up here [E] in Dallas.
[A] She won't let me out of this jail, if she asks [D] how I'm farin'.
I'm just about to [A] lose my mind, worried about old [E] Johnny Lee Walker and the girl I left [A] [C] behind.
[A] Now Johnny Lee Walker was [D] a card mechanic, had a hand for trouble and [A] an eye for cash.
Luckiest man [E] in Dallas County.
He had a gold watch chain and [A] a black mustache, and he loved his whiskey and he [D] loved his women.
Drove a big, long Cadillac [A] limousine.
Kept a big, fine, fancy [E] townhouse in Dallas.
And I hope that sweet [A] New Orleans girl, she'd stick a blade knife in her [D] left hip pocket
and a .44
hog [G] leg up [A] under his coat.
He'd cut you down in a New [E] York minute.
He'd kiss your teeth and that was [D] all she wrote.

I'm just about [A] to lose my mind, worried about old [E] Johnny Lee Walker and the girl I [A] left [C] behind.
I just got to town last Friday evening.
[N] Sure as hell didn't mean to stay.
I was on my way back to [E] Louisiana.
Had a powerful [G#] thirst and six months pay.
I met a broadside blonde [F] in a bar on D [D]-Band.
I was flying high and feeling [C#] mean.
[Em] Poured down a bottle and a half [E] of red eye.
[G] I dropped [E] $35 in the slot [C#] machine [Em] and the boys in the back was a [D] dealin' seven card.
Sit down and won me a hundred [A] and ten.
I was raking in chips like Brad [E] took Richmond.
But big Johnny Lee called [A] me strolling in.
He read off the table like [D] a 707.
Heard as soon as he done won [A] all of my bread.
I accused him of cheating and [E] he reached for his stuff.
I grabbed a chair and went [A] upside of his head and then I took off running like [D] a motorcycle.
A whoop whoop.
Heard the bullets whining in the [A] sirens wail.
But it took half the cops in [E] Dallas County just to put one cute ass [Am] boy in jail.
So I called up the truty [D] on the telephone.
Sent a letter in the [A] mail.
That I'm hung up [E] in Dallas.
They won't let me [A] out of this jail unless you ask me [D] how I'm feeling.

Where's my old [E] Johnny E.
Walker and the girl I [A] left behind?
