A
Early one mornin while making the rounds, I 

                                 E
took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman 


down, I went right home and I went to bed!

A
I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head.

A
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun. 

                          E
I took a shot of cocaine and away I run, 


made a good run but I run to slow 

A
they over took me down in Juarez, Mexico!

A
Late in the hot joints takin' the pills

                          E
in walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill.


He said willy Lee your name is not Jack 

        A
Brown! You're they dirty hack that shot your

           A
woman down!I said oh yes my name is Willy 

                          E
Lee, if you got a warrant aread it to me.


Shot her down because she made me slow.

A
I thought I was her daddy but she had 5 more

A
When I was arrested I was dressed in black

                               E
they put me on a train and they took me back


had no friend for to go my bail

A
they slapped my dried up carcass in that 

             A
county jail. Early next mornin' bout a half

                                 E
past nine,I spied a sheriff comin down the 


line; talked and he coughed as he cleared 

            A
his throat. He said come on you dirty hack 

                          A
into that district court! Into the court

                                        E
room my trial began. Where I was held by 12 


honest men. Just before the jury started out

A
I saw that little judge commence to look

        A
around. In about 5 minutes in walked a man

                      E
holding the verdict in his right hand,
                                   
                                      A
the verdict read in the first degree. I


hollered lordy lordy have a mercy on me!

A
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen

               E
99 years in the folsom pen. 99 years 

                        A
underneath that ground! I can't forget the 

                                A
day I shot that bad b**ch down! Come on you 

                      D
gotta listen unto me! Lay off that Whiskey 

    E                A
and let that Cocaine be!


I hope Ya'll liked it! Have Fun! :)
