Early one morning while making the rounds, I took a shot of cocaine [G] and I shot my woman [Dm] down.
Went right [C] home and I went to bed, I stuck that lovin' .44
beneath my head.
Got up next morning and I grabbed my gun, I took a shot of cocaine [G] and away I run.
Made a good run but I run too slow, they [A] overtook me down and wore his Mexico.
[C] Laid in the hot joint, taking the pill, and walked the sheriff from [Gm] Jericho Hill.
He said, Willie [G] Lee, your name is not Jack Brown, you're the dirty hack that shot your woman [C]
down.
Yes, oh yes, my name is Willie Lee, if you've got a warrant [G] just read it to me.
Shot her down, cause she made me slow, [C] 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 and they took me by.
[G] Had no friends, Florida gold my bill, they slapped my daughter's carcass in that county [C]
jail.
The next morning about a half past nine, I spot a sheriff [G] coming down the line.
He kinda coughed as he cleared his [C] throat, he said, come on you dirty hack to the district court.
Into the courtroom my trial began, where I was held [G] by twelve honest men.
Just before the jury started out, I saw that dirty judge commence to [Eb] look about.

In about five minutes and walked the man, holding the verdict in [G] his right hand.
The verdict read in the first degree, [A] I hollered, Lordy, Lordy, have mercy [Abm] on me.
[C] The judge smiled as he picked up his pen, ninety-nine [G] years in the false estate pen.
Ninety-nine years underneath that [C] ground, I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch [G] down.
[C] Come on you gotta [F] listen unto me, lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be.
SUIT!
