[A] [C] Call up [D] Trudy on the telephone
Send a letter in the [A] mail
That I'm hung up [E] in Dallas
They won't let me [A] out of this jail
If you ask [D] how I'm farin'
I'm just about [A] to lose my mind
Worried about old Johnny [E] Lee Walker
And the girl I love
[A] [C]
[A] Now Johnny Lee Walker was a [D] car mechanic
That I had for trouble and I
[A] Had for cash
Looked his man in [E] Dallas County
He had a gold watch [A] chain
And a black mustache
And he loved his whiskey and he [D] loved his women
Drove a big long [G] Cadillac [A] Limousine
Kept a big fine fancy [E] townhouse In Dallas
And a hotel [A] suite in New Orleans
Carried a street flame knife
In [D] an Elk Hill pocket
And a .44
Hog Leg
[G] Up under [A] his coat
Put you down in a New [E] York minute
If he catch you cheatin'
That was all [C] she wrote
Call up [D] Trudy on the telephone
Send a letter in the [A] mail
That I'm hung up in [E] Dallas
They won't let me [A] out of this jail
If you ask [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 love
The girl I [A] left behind
[C]
Just got to town last Friday evening
[D]
Sure was [Gm] hell [N] and mean to stay
I was on my way back [E] to Louisiana
Had [B] a powerful thirst for [A] six months pay
I met [G#] a broadside blonde in [D] a bar on Deep End
I was flyin' high and feelin' [C#] mean
[C] Poured down a bottle and [E] a half of red eye
[G] I [C#m] dropped $35 in the slot machine
And [G] the boys in the back was [D] a dealin' seven card
Sit down and won me a hundred [A] and ten
I was rakin' in chips like [E] Brad took Richmond
The big Johnny Lee called [A] me strollin' in
He read off the table like [D] a 707
Pretty soon he done won [A] all of my bread
I accused him cheatin' he [E] reached for his stuff
I grabbed a chair and went up [A] side of his head
And then I took off a runnin' like [D] a motorcycle
I heard the bullets whinin' in the [A] sirens wail
But it took half a cop in [E] Dallas County
Just to put one [C] cool-ass boy in jail
So [A]
I called up a truant [D] on the telephone
Sent a letter in the [A] mail
Said I'm hung up [E] in Dallas
They won't let me [A] out of this jail
They should ask a [D] high-offender and a head
Well I'm just about to [A] lose my mind
Worried about old [E] Johnny Lee Walker
And the girl I [A] left behind
Called up to the [D] on the telephone
Sent a letter in the [A] mail
Said I'm hung up [E] in Dallas
They won't let me [A] out of this jail
They should ask a [D] high-offender and a head
Well I'm just about to [A] lose my mind
[D] Worried [A] about old [E] Johnny Lee Walker
And the girl I [A] left behind
Called up to the [D] on the telephone
[A]
